Artist Statement
The streets are where art really lives. I slung dirt at night on the streets.
Climbing and hopping fences seeking the perfect spot to scrawl my name.
In and out quickly with grace of an ally cat night after night, killing spray
paint cans. At each spot I left my name larger then life. This is how I learned
how to be an artist, by doing throw- ups and tagging everything I passed.
I am a Graffiti Bomber on and off the streets. Graffiti will always be the
blood in my exploration with art and living. It keeps things flowing and alive.
Graffiti is where I emerged from and where I never left and never will leave.
People have asked me why I do not show my graffiti in my shows. This is not
the streets. I keep it separated in a way. I could never recreate graffiti onto
canvas. It would be lost.
The street pressures don't exist in my constructed environment. But fragments
of it always exist in my art. From graffiti I have gravitated towards and educated
in photography, typography and Graphic Design. All of these mediums can be seen
in my artwork. I feel blest from God art did not become dormant with in me as I
make my way through living but has become my way of life. Because essentially
we all are beautiful creations of art, we all are critters of art. I thank you all for
taking interest in my work.
