In my bureaucratic world of order and systems, the presence of purposeless signatures was deeply disturbing. That’s why I decided to help the authors of those signatures and give their work a true meaning!
In the last couple of months, I transformed countless graffiti tags into proclamations, loan agreements, job application letters, checks, signed apologies, and petitions.
Explore the links below to learn more about the project and discover how you can make a difference. Thank you for being a part of this creative adventure!

What was truly challenging was the process of gaining permission from the owners, which took me about two years.If you want to create a beautiful mural painting, everyone understands and supports it. But, when I tried to explain the idea of transforming graffiti tags into “legit signatures,” people were completely lost and usually denied it.

Interestingly, when you spray paint on buildings during the daytime while wearing a suit, nobody calls the police, not even once. Considering the usual suspicion of people here, that was quite surprising, trust me!
In my community, most of the responses were positive because my city is full with graffiti tags, even on the most precious buildings from the 15th century, which is truly disrespectful. What they appreciated was that my project was more playful than judgmental, and that was my aim. Online, the responses were also mostly positive, except for some people from the graffiti community who think I am a male Karen trolling them.
I’m quite excited to create moreoffice street artbecause there is a nice paradox in it. Usually, this form of art is about youth, rebellion, and doubting authorities, while I’m using the same form of art to bring more order to the streets. When I was a young punk, I wanted to “destroy the system,” but later, I understood that in Slovakia, the system is quite destroyed already. Maybe let’s invest the energy in fixing it!At this moment, I’m thinking about creating special “parking places” for people who are gluing themselves to the road during climate protests. But again, I’m not trying to be condemning. I understand both graffiti artists and climate protests. I just want to challenge the forms of how they express themselves—and I’m trying to do it in a playful and slightly teasing way. And with love, of course.Your support means the world to me!
