Creamy: The Man, The Myth, The Tassie Legend in Art

Posted: 10/04/2024

Having discussed El Chapo's, I wanted to showcase the artist who spray-painted it!

It's pretty well-known that my artistic talent is virtually nonexistent. I've always left any graphic work to the professionals. By far, my favourite artist is Creamy. I've been incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Creamy on several occasions.

Creamy is an exceptional individual; not only is his art breathtaking, but he's also a humble, genuinely kind person. His passion extends beyond the canvas; Creamy is deeply committed to giving back to the community. His work has graced walls in numerous countries and, perhaps most impressively, he has dedicated his time and talent to engaging with youth in detention centers and schools. Through his art, Creamy has opened up dialogues, inspired creativity, and offered a sense of hope and expression to those who may need it most.

One of the first major projects we tackled together was this spectacular dripping donut he spray-painted for Gonutz—another business venture, but I'll save that story for another time. What made this experience memorable was how I simply told Creamy, "I have a blank wall, and I'm opening a donut shop." He provided a sketch that was just perfect.

When it came to El Chapo's, it was a no-brainer to collaborate with Creamy again. He had recently adorned a friend's food truck with the iconic "Hungry Bear" artwork. After sharing some black and white sketches with me, Creamy went to work, doing what he does best.

A few days later, I was greeted by an absolutely beautiful sight: El Chapo's in all its glory.

Now, I could go on and on Creamy's virtues endlessly. To see more of Creamy's transformative work and explore his most recent projects, check out the links below. His dedication to fostering community through art, especially among the youth, showcases not only his talent but his heart.
