Yeah, the bike trail thing kind of felt like he was trying to build a reputation or get some "illegal art/street writer" merit badges. The guy who called the cops claimed to be a fan. I'm probably just being paranoid.

An acquaintance of mine commissioned him to paint a retaining wall. Other graffiti artists come by every now and then and put their tags on parts of it. Someone painted some dollar signs ($) on it too. Baron seemed to have been really upset by that, and has come back to the wall to fix the paint and put up responses.

More than anything I'm just salty that he makes thousands of dollars for doing, albeit legally, what folks like MFONE were jailed and fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for. As well as being envious of his ability to work legally, onymously, and while being represented by an agent/manager.

I'm just being a hater, but it feels like he skipped a step on becoming an accepted street artist because of the whole former Steeler thing. Seeing so many girls on Tinder who have photographs in front of his elephants or giraffes is another reason.
