Phibs
................................


One of the bad things about the internet is that sometimes you feel like you know what is going on in a city before you go there. There are so many computer savy artists that you may see hundreds of pieces by an artist on the internet, but when you go to the city you dont see one of them. On the other side, sometimes you travel to a city and you see someone who is more productive than an army of ants.
By far, Phibs is the most prolific artist in Melbourne. I had painted w Phibs on the recent K-Spray tour throughout Asia, but Phib's power lies in his freehand ability not stencils. Never in my life have i seen an artist who had the can control he does. The so-called 'king of the cutback' can spray paint murals that look like they were done with a sharpie. every corner i turned there was a Phibs mural. Not once did i see a sloppy piece. Everything was crisp, and ornate. Phibs blew me away. If you are traveling to Melbourne, go to the Fitzroy district, and you will see dozens of pieces by Phibs.
