Born in 1968 as Fernando Carlo, Jr., the artist known as Cope 2 has a career that spans over 40 years. He is a self-taught graffiti artist who went from achieving "all city" status to being exhibited all over the globe. If you’re from New York, you’ve likely come across his signature tag at some point in your life, as he’s been throwing it up since the '80s. Even if you’re not from New York, Cope’s work has also appeared in countless publications, movies, and video games — prominently featured in Mark Ecko’s "Getting Up" and in GTA IV.
