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 children’s glue, water, and notebook paper in its simplest form. Intrigued, our editor Ben found a longtime NYC wheatpaster, Timothy Hutto, to take us through the motions.
