It may be due to his lack of "Street" or "Urban" art. Participating in group shows with Street Artists has put him in this realm, but he's really a digital artist who transitioned to painting (a statement he makes himself in an interview.)

I'm not making any critiques on his work, as we all should realize that art is Subjective, but I'm just making the case for why he may not have his own dedicated Forum "Thread".

but he does, you just commented on it  

Its not a rat but its on a wall but in the street and from article last year a better explanation of how he started.

For those that don’t know you, what’s the Matt Gondek origin story?

I’ve always wanted to be an artist. My art career started about 10 years ago when I began getting hired to do shirt illustrations for bands. I did that for about seven years as a freelancer.. Did well for myself but hated sitting on the computer all day. Never going outside.

How did you begin to make the transition from fine art to street art and murals?

I began painting about three years ago on a whim. Never really did it before. I started out solely doing canvas work with maybe One or Two murals done with Brush Paint. This is back when I lived in Pittsburgh..

When I moved to California, I realized it was much too nice out to sit inside painting all the time, so I started ramping up my mural work and began teaching myself how to use aerosol.

My first murals were all brush paint.. then a combination of brush and can.. recently they’ve been all spraypaint.

Has anyone seen him paint his early stages? Curious of his mural approach—if he he uses a projector. (I applaud artists who do not)
