Welcome to Jenkem Tries, a new video series where I, your editor Ben, try out the hobbies, hustles and pastimes of my friends and fellow skaters. For our inaugural episode, we’re looking into wheatpasting.
Wheatpasting is a form of street art used by the smallest of creatives to the largest of advertisers, one that is so accessible that it only takes childrens glue, water and notebook paper in its simplest form. If you’ve walked down a street in New York City, I guarantee you’ve brushed by a wheatpasted wall.
It’s also likely you’ve seen the POST NO BILLS signs, a warning and marker of the delicate dance between property owners of NYC and artists like wheatpasters. It’s because of this that I’ve heard wheatpasting presents the same thrill (albeit less dangerous) that street skating and graffiti pose.
Intrigued, I found a longtime NYC wheatpaster, Timothy Hutto, to take us through the motions. From mixing glue in the kitchen, printing massive posters and navigating the busy streets to post them up, follow along as we try it out.
