I've seen his stuff around town and I never knew what it was or what it meant, it was great to learn its meaning and its message :)

[@hmoobher]

So sick..... I watch this every other month to keep me in aknowledgment.

[@smileatmeonce]

Holy shite his art is amazing!!! How could this be a felony???

[@MichaelMagill1990]

Why does this series have so few views? I just found out about it tonight and I watched the whole series. Needs more views. Wtf...

[@arturomonroy5706]

Gats you're a huge inspiration to me I hope we meet one day soon

[@HILLBILLYDOESMC]

Gats is actually the one who inspired me to do graffiti. I give him mad respect for doing all this. He is my most favorite writer.

[@doubleRRify]

I'd love to have one of those posters.

[@shufflehousemusic]

even saw some stickers from him in Rome, such epic artist!

[@lallyiam]

Yo where is the donate button? Ive got so much respect for the work you are doing to bring about social change through owning the creative power to influence the system as we see it.. This i am Other series has been an inspiration to my own work. Ive been documenting graffiti in SF and creating videos with a similar purpose - to share in making this city my own! The movement is larger than any of us know, we are just looking for that shared vision to tip the whole shit! Namaste GATS!

"I associate the masks with freedom of speech, That's why I will never take mine off."

[@TheLobonegro3]

dude everyone is free to draw whatever they want to, everyone starts from somewhere... graffitti, van gogh, da vinci, mickey mouse, thats how u start. i start drawing starwars drones when i was i kid, and nobody told me that i should "draw my own shit"... if you want to draw like da vinci you're free to go and draw his drawings and studies. art is like that man, artist, painters and drawers start from some other art manifestation, no offense but you're are way wrong saying something like that.

[@landonwk3]

He's not ripping it off, he's not talking about going around and saying "I came up with this". He admires the work and is inspired by it. I'm sure GATS would be flattered. You can do that with art. I'm a musician and if I like a song a lot, sometimes I'll do a cover of it. It doesn't mean I'm ripping it off, all credit still goes to the artist whose work it is.

[@Calzonzin]

does anybody knows what kind of paper was that?

[@patrickharrold7048]

Dude from Rockford Illinois stole this guys whole style lol

[@redcyph9]

What's the name of the song that starts playing at :35? Your help is much appreciated.

[@iwasborntobefly]

california has a three strikes law. don't know if this covers it, but why go to prison for life over some paint on a wall? seriously. save your money and buy some canvas for crying out loud.

[@devinwalgren4747]

That’s exactly why people have mad respect for what he does. Fuck the system. Would you rather see McDonald’s ads everywhere or GATS????
