An Understated Wallpainter Coating Waves And Buildings In A Layer Of Fresh Pigment

“I love surfing with my dad and Oscar Langburne, they make me feel better about myself.”

Connor Lee is a polite, humble kid from Newcastle. Connor seemed more keen on telling Stab about how hard his friends ripped rather than talking about himself, dishing out praise for his friends, family, and sponsors with the generosity of a sweet grandparent.

Currently, Connor works painting buildings, homes mostly, and the odd industrial space here and there. His boss surfs too, “which is nice because if the waves are good we’ll clock off early and surf together.” 

Connor recently premiered his clip ‘444’ at his friend’s jewellery store in Newy. “It was a community gathering with local bands, ‘Soul Wun’ and ‘Who is Arcadia?’ on decks, and FELLR seltzer’s aplenty”. 

Watch the wallpainter lay some fresh pigment on walls at Newcastle, the Gold Coast and South Australia.
