Without a doubt, one must be very vigilant in order not to fall behind in the modern era of graffiti media that still revolves around Instagram and Tik Tok. Within these pocket universes, Instagram, in its desire to compete with the giant Tik Tok, periodically develops new tools that spark our imagination and our desires for communication and stardom. One of those tools is the reel: a window to other worlds in the form of videos in which less is more.Humans like the summaries, the conclusions, the (not necessarily happy) endings and the drawers, in order to elaborate, go beyond logic and not pigeonhole ourselves. Otherwise known as the spirit of contradiction. In this climate of invented endings, 2022 is about to expire and we want to say goodbye to it with a compilation of the year’s most viewed reels. A selection of what interests us, excites us and provokes us, judged by likes, contradictory comments, and visits.
1. BAD KID DRAKO
Love moves mountains but hate creates them. Bad Kid Drako, whether he knows the phrase or not, uses "better that they speak ill of you than not at all" to perfection. He knows it, encourages it and has a good time doing it. Watch it here.
2. Remi Gaillard
Classics never die, especially if they continue to surprise us. Remi Gaillard dressed as an owl and defecating on a Police Nationale car, may not surprise many, but almost all of us love it.
3. Guser
The bronze medal goes to writer and marathon runner Guser 360 . And there is nothing we like more than adrenaline running through our veins (or someone else's). The recipe: A bomber with a 360º camera, silver+2g and the police on your tail. Nothing can go wrong.
4. Minjaokz
In fourth position of the most watched videos is an example that anything is possible, that we shared at the time on the Montana Colors Germany account. Minjanokz demonstrates it to us in this video. He has the skills we all dream of.
5. Jnco
Half of the list is taken by this writer Jnco and the pole he uses to spray paint at considerable heights. A do-it-yourself magician —as demonstrated in this semi-tutorial— with its proponents and opponents. No, he hasn’t invented the wheel. Almost everyone knows a writer who has done something similar. But are there pictures of it?
6. Cean_Silva
In sixth place and from the Montana Colors Chile account, we have Ceon Silva with a balanced mix of graffiti with classic characters and stencil.
7. Jonacito & CMS
The sooner they start the better, and in this video we can see that Jonacito has some great teachers. The CMS crew shows us more with less. Plastic, one outline and style.
8. Aches
In eighth place is Aches, an old acquaintance of ours from Dublin, whose technique and magic stand out in this video.
9. Drako
Once again the writer Drako from Porto doubles up on the list, this time showing us the wonder of the rainbow with refillable markers. Not everything is controversy.
10. Nug
With this reel we have proof that slapstick is always a good resource. Adapted to graffiti, in the corridors of a subway station, with a monarch like Nug through the Unrulgallery account, and we have a hit: “Territorial pissing.”Decide for yourself which reels deserved to make this list on our IG account.

Despite the many changes in Philly’s West Kensington neighborhood, the walls along North 5th & Cecil B Moore continue to host a huge range of striking, first-rate graffiti murals. The image pictured above is the work of the gifted Philly-based Colombian artist Busta. Three more adjacent murals — all on the theme of the greek myth “Jason and the Argonauts” — follow:
Houston Bigger Change Murals is an unprecedented series of ten large murals curated by Street Art for Mankind and created by prominent international and local artists to amplify awareness of social and environmental issues in Houston and beyond. This series is made possible thanks to a partnership with Downtown Houston and Total Energies and the support of the City of Houston and Harris County.
The themes chosen for each mural are inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the diversity of the local community and the drive of local people and organizations who make a difference in Houston and around the world.
The muralists include artists from South Africa, Mexico, Australia, Portugal, Spain, and Germany. This project also presents the opportunity to lift two Houston artists, Emily Ding and Ana Marietta, onto an international stage. Collectively, the group will deliver a series of murals that raise awareness for the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations.
The first finished mural painted was by Sonny. The 10,000 sqft mural, ‘Fight or Flight, ‘ was painted in downtown Houston and is a special tribute to the Aplomado Falcon. As apex predators, these already endangered birds are sadly at the top of the list regarding species most vulnerable to climate change.
“I wanted to depict the bird (dis)appearing into reality as a way to show their resilience in the face of an uncertain future. I hope that the mural is a reminder of why we need to do what we can to help protect these birds and all natural habitats around the world.” SONNY

The second finished mural is painted by Emily Ding and titled ‘Loving Houston’. The mural is a tribute to Houston’s unique outdoor quality of life, its lush greenery, its Buffalo Bayou and the numerous parks immediately accessible to millions of Houstonians. It supports the United Nations Sustainable development goal 15 on “life on land”, which invites us all to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

Carlos Alberto paints the third finished mural. It is titled “Hope of a greener future”. It is an ode to Houston’s flourishing ecosystems, reflecting the crucial role of Green Energies in creating a sustainable future in which technology works in harmony with nature. It supports the United Nations Sustainable development goal 7 on “affordable and clean energy”, which invites us to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy.

The fourth finished mural by Victor Ash is titled “Human Rights” and highlights Houston’s strong commitment to ensuring freedom, peace and social justice for all, as well as its constant efforts to fight human trafficking. It supports the United Nations Sustainable development goal 16, which encourages us to develop peaceful and inclusive societies, provide access to justice, and build effective and inclusive institutions. It also supports SDG 8.7, which asks us to take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, and end modern slavery and human trafficking.

The fifth mural is by Artist Lula Goce, who paints ‘The Shaman’ and is a tribute to women who, throughout history, have held in their power the knowledge of nature and its medicinal use.
“The Shaman” I’m honored to share with you my latest creation for @streetartmankind in Houston, Texas. Many thanks to @lalouvier, Mexican artist, for accepting to be the inspiration model. The Shaman is a tribute to all those women who throughout history have held in their power the knowledge of nature and its medicinal use. These healers and spirit guides who in many cultures and civilizations were important strongholds of their communities. And that somehow laid the foundations to reach what we know today as modern medicine and science.” Lula Goce instagram

The sixth mural by Case Maclaim, titled “King of Road”, is a powerful ode to social equity, breaking boundaries and accessing new opportunities for all. It supports the United Nations Sustainable development goal 10 on “Reduced Inequalities”. Goal 10 invites us to reduce income inequalities; promote universal social, economic and political inclusion; ensure equal opportunities and end discrimination, and adopt fiscal and social policies that promote equality.

The seventh mural is by Ana Marietta, titled “Sharing the World”, and is an ode to Houston’s international influence and its diversity. It is about the more than 145 languages spoken in the city and its people of multicultural backgrounds working together to build a stronger community. It supports the United Nations Sustainable development goal 17 on the need for strong cross-sector and cross-country collaboration and partnerships to achieve sustainable development for all. This mural uses Ana’s iconic characters to depict a world where people of different ethnicities unite and look together towards the future.
