COPE2

He has been a graffiti artist since 1985. Cope2’s cousin “Chico 80” influenced Cope into writing. In 1982, he made his own crew called Kids Destroy, eventually changing to Kings Destroy after he dubbed himself “King of the 4 Line”.

Some of Cope2’s initial commercial artwork has been sold at Christie’s for $1000 USD per painting. Early work includes cover art for a Boogie Down Productions album titled Sex and Violence.

In 2002, Cope2 provided artwork for Adam Bhala Lough’s Bomb the System, including a piece on the Brooklyn Bridge. He can be seen on the DVD’s behind the scenes footage painting one of the pieces at the end of the film.
