Street artist Jimmy Glossblack goes from tagging trains to selling art to Google

The graffiti artist has been commissioned for corporate spaces across the United States, most recently Comcast.

Before muralist Jimmy McMenamin earned thousands of dollars for his artwork, he dug deep into graffiti culture and honed his technique for a decade by tagging freight trains in New Jersey, the United States.

Fast-forward to the present, and Jimmy Glossblack – as he’s known professionally – has expanded from his graffiti roots to become one of the Philadelphia region’s premier muralists, booking such high-profile gigs as three murals in the new Comcast Technology Center.
