Matthew Williams, co-founder of BeenTrill# and Kanye West's former creative director, posted to Instagram a throwback photo from a dinner in Paris with mysterious street artist Jim Joe, pictured left. This is the first time a photo of Jim Joe’s full face has surfaced online. 

Primarily known for writing the scribbled words on Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late album cover, the NYC street artist has worked with Kanye West and Virgil Abloh, and has been tagging the city since 2010—all while keeping his identity under wraps. He did this interview with the New York Art Department in 2013, which pixelates his already half-hidden face.
