Novy's unique brand of street art is ripe with thoughtful social examinations. He combats the homophobic lack of representation in street art and murals with his celebration of gay iconography, bringing joviality and warmth to disused urban spaces. Novy's 2011 National Endowment for the Arts grant enabled the curation of the first major exhibition of its kind, "A History of Queer Street Art" in San Francisco. This groundbreaking show next toured to Los Angeles' Pop Up Gallery and then was ultimately received with great acclaim at Yale University.

A graduate of the Peck School of the Arts, Novy's work has been met with critical acclaim across the nation. His work has benefitted non-profit foundations, advocacy organizations, and community service programs.

Featured in numerous books, publications, and in both public and private art collections, Novy's stencil work is cogent in its messaging and remarkably complex for its compositional simplicity. His most established series – “Koi,” refers to coded anti-authoritarian symbols embedded in Communist-era Chinese art. His pioneering images of drag queens, physique pictorials, and pornography bring to life the multiplicity of a truly modern identity, reminding us that we each must walk our streets in collective solidarity.
