well for the rush and the appreciation of the art plus its one type of art that I really excel at I was in college for art and that really was either too hard or just didn't inspire me but everytime I see a great piece or a tag I feel amazing its just so inspiring

 

“When I paint it feels like calmness, meditation. But it’s a roller coaster; at the beginning you’re stressed out because it looks like shit, to the middle of the pieces when you’re beginning to resolve issues, to the end of the pieces when you really start to enjoy the piece by dressing it up and adding the affects and techniques that you discovered during the piece, and that’s when you find the moment you were searching for.
I’ve been miserable because I haven’t been able to paint lately. If I don’t participate in it, I don’t feel like I’m alive. Painting is where I find balance, calmness and great self-satisfaction, and if I can’t do it, it takes me right down to hell. I go through withdrawal just like a junkie would. I’s not the healthiest situation so it’s a constant struggle. Just the anxiety of knowing you’re going to do something crazy, like when I did a freeway piece, and then realized I was close to death hanging on a freeway bridge! But you know that you are doing something that no one else is doing, and if you survive it, you’re doing something that 500,000 people may see the next day.”

im a badass

 

I started to write because I was walkiing home on da train tracks 1 day & passed under a brigde & saw madd burners & throw ups & got hooked

 

i Write to stay up...and i stay up to write

 

i always thought graff looked cool and stuff. and its something to do when ur bored. i always remember seeing graff under overpasses and on trains and stuff and thought it looked cool.

 

lol i do it cause it looks cool too....idiot.

i do it to get my name out.

 

i do it to trancend my self, to translate an otherwise ingnored or missunderstood inner desire to scrawl into a game that i play. All day errday its an uncurable plague on the brain, an obession that persist, with out it, there'd be a huge chasm large enough to entirly consume me.

 

I started to write REAL GRAFFITI ON THE STREETS cuz i like idea of gettin up and i love to fuck shit up.
I try piecing because i know gettin up is only one part of the game, and i think i look dope as hell when done right.

I dont write graffiti for no bullshit made up reason that if i type in a graffiti forum itll make me feel special, and like it seperates the reason i write from other writers bullshit wanna be creative reason.

Fuck that self expression bullshit. If you wanna express yourself go write rhymes and breakdance.

 

I like breathing the fumes. lol
I actually do it because I love having my own style and developing. The culture ties into the art so well it's just so great.

 

yeah but once you start you love the styles and the letters most of all right?

 

no. theres nothing more that i hate than letters and different style. -_-

 

i like fuckin shit up without people knowing really who i am.
ya.

 

for other peopel to look and soay who the hell does that ?..

 

release

 

because i love the adrenaline, and i love destroying shit.

 

I write cause theres not many things in the world like graffiti. theres no one to tell you what you can or cannot do, skys the limit. your the boss.

 

i write because i have a mental issue that forces me to write every minute

 

because i love the english language and i like to discover myself via poems and writing literature, wait we're talking bought why we write right, yeah write, right, rite
