The Second Chapter in the Timeless Artist Legacy Program Series

Some names are written once.
Others are written forever.

In 2026, Timeless continues its year long collaboration with WET PAINT, a global graffiti art movement founded by Persue that transforms the very symbols used to erase graffiti into canvases for creativity.

Chapter Two moves east, into the Bronx, where legacy isn’t given, it’s earned. This chapter belongs to CES.

Writing the City

Before galleries.
Before collaborations.
Before brands.
There were trains.
There were walls.
And there were names.

CES built his reputation in New York City at a time when graffiti wasn’t accepted, it was resisted. What started as a young writer finding his place in the Bronx became decades of work that helped define the visual language of graffiti as we know it today.

His name didn’t just appear. It repeated. Again and again, until it couldn’t be ignored.

From Steel to Walls

As New York shifted, so did the canvas. The trains slowed down. The walls opened up.

CES became a central figure in that transition, helping move graffiti from motion to permanence. From fleeting moments on subway cars to large scale murals rooted in community, his work helped shape the Bronx into a destination for graffiti culture.

Where something once passed by in seconds, it now stood still long enough to be felt.

The Language of Wildstyle

To the untrained eye, it’s chaos. To those who know, it’s precision.

CES is known for his mastery of wildstyle, a form of graffiti lettering built on complexity, layering, and control. Lines collide, arrows extend, letters bend into forms that aren’t meant to be easily read.

That’s the point. Wildstyle isn’t about accessibility. It’s about respect.

It’s a language developed within the culture, for the culture. And CES helped push that language forward, influencing generations of writers across the world.

Beyond the Wall

Graffiti never left. It expanded. From walls to canvas. From canvas to skin.

Over time, CES brought his craft into tattooing and fine art, carrying the same discipline and identity into new mediums without losing the foundation it was built on.

The lines stayed sharp. The intention stayed the same.

Chapter Two: The Artifact

For Chapter Two, Timeless and Wet Paint introduce a series of limited edition pieces, each treated as an extension of CES’s work.

The Timeless flip case and battery combo returns, reimagined through his signature structure and layered style. Alongside it, a custom T-Series device and Tumble 5-pack carry the same visual language across new formats, objects designed not just to be used, but to be held onto. Each surface becomes part of the canvas.

Controlled chaos. Repetition. Identity. This isn’t just design. It’s authorship.

Why Timeless x Wet Paint

Timeless has always believed culture is built by those who put time into it.
Wet Paint exists for the same reason, to preserve, elevate, and continue the voices that shaped it.
CES represents legacy in its purest form.

Years of work. No shortcuts. No permission needed.

This collaboration is about recognizing that foundation and giving it new surfaces to live on—from device to packaging, from object to ritual.

Four artists. Four chapters. One shared commitment to creative rebellion.

What Comes Next

CES adds another layer.

As the year continues, Timeless and Wet Paint will introduce two more artists, each bringing their own perspective, history, and approach to the movement.

Different styles. Same foundation. Chapter Two builds on what came before. The rest will continue to evolve.
