These images are a collection of the graffiti of YOK around the city of New York and one thing they all have in common is moustaches. Yok's droopy-eyed hipster creations have been peppered around New York City over the last couple of years. The artist himself says his distinctive style is influenced by "loopy moustaches, seaworthy beards and potato-headed rad lads."
The images YOK draws are reflective of the areas in which he draws in. These images are an up-to-date commentary on hipster fashion in New York's hippest suburb. Originally from Perth, Australia, YOK now lives and works in Brooklyn where he has a home studio. The fun artist says he is always open for "collaborations, commissions and cases of beer."
