I bet you’ve expected some graffiti artist! Well, this time it’s all about Photography! Willie T.’s “Special Art Post” has been a long time coming! If you are interested in cool events, like Art Basel, the premiere of Banksy’s “Exit Through The Gift Shop”, or just some private party with cool people, like 50 Cent, you just have to stumble upon Willie T’s photos one day. I saw his work for the first time when I was browsing Known Gallery’s website and I got really hooked on it, when I saw this picture he made of artist Push:

Next to Photography, he’s also active in filming. On his vimeo profile he writes:

Filming is something that I’m never thought I was going to be doing, I always thought I would end up with a career that I would in be happy with but filming is were I can express my Art, I feel that every moment I capture someone in front of my lens is a Memory they leave behind.. Someone told me once in my life what kind of legacy do you want people to remember you by! And I was like Wooooo do I have something to leave behind? That was my question to myself and now I do I think I do. I thank God everyday of my life for this chance and opportunity in what I call a Second chance.. So please take a look at my work and feel free to drop me a message or leave me a Comment.

So let’s take a look at his work!
