Chris Brown has made no attempts to hide his admiration for the art of graffiti, as evidenced by the title of his last album. But some may not know that in between recording music and punching women in the face Chris likes to get his fingers a little dirty sprayin’ some hues himself! The “Run It” and “Forever” singer was spotted outside a studio in West Hollywood yesterday releasing a few fluorocarbons on a large canvas mounted on an easel.
The painting is of a rather portly cartoonish pig – an amazingly accurate depiction of how the world viewed Chris Brown just after it was revealed he had brutally abused girlfriend Rihanna in February of 2009. (If Chris decides to abandon music altogether to pursue his calling to be a visual artist perhaps he should consider changing his name to Porkasso.)

“I fell in love with art around the age of six. I always took pride in kind of winning the coloring contests in school,” the R&B singer told Rap-Up.com. “Art was my only outlet. Aside from music, art is the thing that I like to escape. And I appreciate other artists who have that talent and that eye for detail and eye for their own imagination. Art is a part of my life and it influences me completely.”
You can check out some of Chris’s collaborations with Australian artist Kid Zoom at Rap-Up.com, including an arm holding a machete, both of which are dripping in bright red paint:
Chris even uses graffiti throughout his home crib, or at least he did back in September of 2009 when he tweeted these photos:
So what do you think of Chris Brown’s other artistic abilities? Could he be the hip hop Banksy?
