Blu exited the art market (galleries, selling directly through artsh.it) over 10 years ago (and likely will never sell anything into the art market again--the only work available is on the secondary market, and that is rare). I think Blu mentioned working as a cook in this video from back in the day (theinfluencers.org/en/video/blu/7) 

Lazarides on Blu from 2018
A. As far as it is possible, Blu is the purest of the pure in terms of street artists. There is no commercial angle to what he does, he has a very political mindset, he is prolific and ‒ as far as I am concerned ‒ he is the real role model for what street artists should be.
A. I think he’s so political and he has such a strong sense of who he is and what he wants to do, and I don’t think he’s motivated by money or fame at all: all he wants to do is paint in the streets and paint walls. And I think he’s stayed true to that for the last fifteen years.
Lazarides on Banksy and Blu from 2018
Q. What do you think will remain of these two artists for future generations?
A. I think Banksy will be considered one of the most famous “commercial” graffiti artists of all time. And I think Blu will be considered one of the purest graffiti artists of all time.

Thanks sapi,
 it is always a pleasure to read your blu's post, and you always bring something I didn't know.

Did you see the print pinned under the desk? do you know if it is a print or poster? is this a blu 's edition never released?
