In the next clip of our exclusive interview with Los Angeles Billboard Killer BUGE BAMC VS, he shares how he counts his successes in billboards painted, each one a victory symbolized by his ability to evade capture. “The trophy is getting away,” he shares with a grin, capturing the thrill and stakes that fuel his career.

BUGE’s careful navigation of his craft is a lesson in secrecy and survival, as he hints at the value of moving “in silence.” The artist talks about holding his plans close to prevent others from taking his ideas, never revealing his next target until it’s time to strike.

For BUGE, the art isn’t only in what he paints but in the entire process, from conceiving his designs to keeping them hidden and finding the perfect moment to unveil them in bold, defiant letters high above the city.
