BiP (Believe in People) is an anonymous street painter who is identified, from clues released on Twitter and by his intermediaries, to be a male Princeton graduate, former investment banker, and current artist. BiP produces work internationally as a large-scale muralist, street artist, and an occasional animator. Because graffiti artists focus on perfecting lettering styles, spreading their brand and other common characteristics of graffiti, BiP does not consider his spray-painting, stenciling, and wheat-pasting to be traditional graffiti. According to BiP, “traditional graffiti writers would be infuriated to hear his work called ‘graffiti’”. Likewise, BiP has claimed publicly that his work is not committed to graffiti for graffiti’s sake but rather, dedicated to a spirit of resistance to skepticism and estrangement, so as to positively change the way people interact with their environment.
