GIAS Billboard Time-Lapse Video + Interview

Gias Billboard
Graffhead: How long did it take you to complete the billboard?

Gias: Hour-wise I spent around 35 hours total spaced out during random mostly middle of the night sessions for over 4 months. Right after I really started to focus working on it around January I wrecked my shoulder which prevented me from going up there for over a month and from then on there was always something to slow down my progress whether it was rain peeling the paper off and having to redo parts, employees working directly beneath the billboard till all hours of the night, dealing with cop issues or just being too exhausted to climb up and down a ladder and paint for hours in the middle of the night. I'm still trippin that I actually finished the whole thing.
