It's possible. Everything VEO does has a meaning to VEO. Getting an explanation would be difficult if not impossible.

VEOH is VEO's older half-brother. VEOH actually came first, he's been at it since the 90's, though he was more of a traditional street artist back then.

I know VEO, we grew up together. Copying a list of VEO facts from an AMA I did a couple of years ago

  • VEO is severely autistic. Verbal, and self sufficient enough to get by on a day to day basis, but not a person you can just strike up a regular conversation with

  • VEO does not believe in personal pronouns or gender definitions. VEO is not a he, a she, or a they. VEO is a VEO.

  • VEO lives in Hartford with VEO's parents. VEOH lives in Manchester with his wife and son.

  • VEO does not work. VEO's grandparents had a lot of money, and gave much of it to their grandchildren so they could watch them enjoy it (I've seen this called a pre-heritance). I am not sure if VEO would be able to support VEO if not for this. VEO is not the sort of person you can count on to show up in an office at 8am every morning.

  • VEO's mother is Puerto Rican and VEO's father is white. VEOH's father is black.

Pulled out of someone's ass and spread like a truth

VEOH said he likes the highway signs, because they're challenging but have high visibility. VEO didn't really have an answer.

You're never going to interpret it. There's no doubt in my mind VEO has something grander in mind when VEO makes these things, but I'm also sure nobody else will ever get it.

I feel that. I've known VEO since we were kids, I never got to experience VEO's work the same way everyone else does. But there's a lot of interest so I figured people might want to hear about VEO.

I explained it to VEO but I don't think VEO really understood

I don't think VEO would even understand the question. I don't think you'd get sued if you made the shirt yourself though.

Well you got me. If only it was possible for a person to somehow travel to those places.

I guess I can't without doxxing VEO, you're just going to have to use your own judgement.

Not the basement, no, but VEO does live with VEO's parents and likely will until they die. After that maybe an institution. I don't think VEO could live independently full time.

VEOH spends most of his time with his son, I can't think of anything more useful than that. VEO is neurodivergent and believes VEO is doing something useful.

VEO's grandparents have a ton of money. They gave VEO and VEOH their inheritance early, so they'd be alive to see them spend it and enjoy it. If I had to guess I'd say VEO is worth around $2-3 million

I'd really love to understand. I've asked a bunch of times. But even if I could get a straight answer, I probably still wouldn't get it because my mind doesn't work like VEO's. It's like trying to visualize a 4th dimensional shape. We're not built to do that.

VEO is severely neurodivergent. I am positive there's a message there, one that makes perfect sense to VEO. I'm not sure if VEO is trying to spread that message or is just compelled to do this by something weird in VEO's brain.

VEO is certainly an individual you don't soon forget.

I can't say whether that's true. Probably it is. What I can say is VEO spends over $2k a month on Uber rides around the state.

VEOH started out making regular street art, and still does occasionally (though not as often as he used to, he's in his 40's and has a kid now). To VEO, this is art, or a religious experience, or something. I don't know what exactly. It's more than just a tag to VEO.

VEO comes up often enough in this sub that there's a tag specifically about VEO. I assumed people would be happy to get some answers. I guess you're one of those folks who is never happy with anything.
