I'm not saying there isn't some stop motion in it .... but there are other points in the film where the light doesn't suggest stop motion.
Looking at his site, I wouldn't call him a graffiti artist. He is an artist, but to call his work graffiti (I think) is to trivialize it. He does do some work in large scale, but he also does a lot of sketch work, and as noted, some of his early animation is just that .... animation.
I suppose if someone were to go out and make a film showing that he did those pieces purely with stop motion and no CGI, I would have to believe it. However, from looking at it very closely, it simply doesn't look that way to me. Further, the films that do show him working only show the creation of a single large scale work of art .... scaffolding and all. That makes me even more convinced that the animations, even of the wall art, are not completely done in stop motion.
It is great art, however.
