Here are some things that you might not know about Maxx242:
– he was a great skater
– he is of Guatemalan descent
– he collects comics and toys (Macross, Spawn and Star Wars)
– he tattooed the dad (Paul Teutul Sr.) from American Chopper and participated in one of the episodes
– he was once accidentally punched in the face at a party and suffered from amnesia for about a month
– he used to wear two pairs of socks at all times
– before becoming the great artist that he is today, he used to have many boring jobs, like garbage man, cooking hamburgers, he cleaned out houses that would get repossessed by banks, McDonalds, Kragen Auto Parts, and candy stores. That’s a lot of jobs!
His name comes from his old graffiti crew – 242 (CIA- Call It Art). Because the members of the crew played an important role in his life, and they influenced him a lot, Maxx didn’t wanted to lose that part of his art, so he attached it to his name.
He is present in many events doing live painting, like he did for the Pearl Jam Show on October 1st. You can see him drawing here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7v968VBV-M
