On August 9, Odeith got a lot of attention by posting a photo of a massive concrete block and asking his fans this intriguing question: “What do you think is going to be painted this time?” One lover of Odeith’s art thought he would paint a “praying mantis”, while another believed it would be a “giant snake”. Little wonder, considering Odeith has painted plenty of creepy crawlies before. Fortunately, some did guess right. Odeith was happy that at least a few people figured out his plan to draw a bus.

Some believe the origins of graffiti go back to people drawing on cave walls. The British Council states that this tradition continued in Ancient Greek and Roman times when individuals would write their names, poems and jokes on building walls. What we now know as modern graffiti first appeared in 1960s Philadelphia; the practice really boomed in the 1970s. While society still hotly discusses whether graffiti is vandalism or art, we’re glad the world has talented artists like Odeith who are brave enough to follow their passion.
