GIANI NY
Optimo for Giani ’23
Optimo, also known as WERDSMOKER, is a native New York artist from Chelsea. He began writing graffiti in 1989, which developed into a full time art career in 2010. The streets have always had a special significance to OPTIMO’s art: the exposure is limitless, giving him a chance to communicate with the general public.
He is well known for his signature character, which goes by the name SAYNOSLEEP. OPTIMO’s characters are a reflection of himself; which are shown either in a cartoon style or seen wearing a skull like mask, all which are mostly painted with a top hat and bandana.
