Street Jams & Global Walls: My Graffiti Journey
Graffiti isn’t just work, it’s a culture. From abandoned trucks in the gullies to international jams in Jakarta and Dubai, I’m always chasing that next adrenaline hit on any surface I can find.
Good spots turn me on. This video shows a risky piece on a bridge pillar. It's all about finding those unique, challenging spots to leave your mark.
Trackside Thursdays. A video from the train showing some of the pieces we've done along the railway lines. It's a gallery in motion.
Another video of a trackside session. You can see us up on the bridge, getting our names up. It's all about the adrenaline and the love for the game.
dKrypt Graffiti Tempo Service '24. Found this abandoned truck and had to give it some mango aesthetics. Any surface is a canvas.
Another view of the graffiti tempo. The truck becomes a moving piece of art, a surprise for anyone who sees it on the road.
A video of me painting the abandoned tempo. It's about transforming something forgotten into something vibrant and alive.
dKrypt da ride? Another video of a truck piece. It's always a fun challenge to paint on unconventional surfaces.
A quick jam in Dubai with my talented broskis from Indonesia. It's always a blast when India meets Indonesia. We ended up getting the same colors and just did our own thing.
Another shot of the Dubai jam. The three of us, three different styles, one wall. That's the beauty of a collaboration.

About Street Jams & Global Walls
Finding the perfect spot is half the game. Whether I'm hitting a bridge pillar for that rush or painting a retired tempo, I don't just look for wall space; I hunt for the textures—rough concrete, peeling metal, or brick—that give a piece character and life. It's not about clean studio settings; it's about raw, real-world grit.
For me, graffiti is a living, breathing thing. It's not contained in a gallery. When I'm out in the streets—whether it's 'Trackside Thursdays' in Mumbai or linking up with my broskis in Jakarta and Dubai—the wall is just a participant in the process.
The Global Hustle
Painting internationally changes the game. You're dealing with new light, different surfaces, and unfamiliar local energy. In Dubai or Yogyakarta, it's about the connection; meeting fellow writers, trading techniques, and adapting on the fly. We don't overplan. We show up with cans, assess the wall, and the piece grows organically.
Beyond the Canvas
I don't stick to clean, smooth walls. I’ve painted abandoned trucks and bridge underpasses because those surfaces have history. When you paint on a rusty tempo or a bridge pillar, you're interacting with the environment. I use my signature 'Masala Flow'—my mix of Devnagri script and wildstyle—to bring a desi flavour to these global jams.
FAQ
How do you pick your spots? I look for 'good spots.' It’s an intuition. Abandoned infrastructure, secluded tracks, or heavy-traffic public walls—if it has energy, I’m painting it.
What if I want that street style for my venue? I bring the exact same mindset from the streets into commercial projects. Whether it's a cafe or a private wall, I treat it with the same urgency and raw energy as a midnight trackside sesh.

I’m Dkrypt. I’ve been tagging walls since Mumbai, and now my aerosol art travels from Jakarta rooftops to Dubai alleys. I don't do formal; I do real, gritty pieces that hit hard.
