Just to reflect on 2013, it has been a good year for getting organized and trying new ideas. Overall even though it has been very positive there is always more work to do. Facebook marketing has opened my eyes to a whole new audience and that is something new for me. I have done some commercial murals which I had avoided for years and I have embraced it, streamlined my practice a bit too. Started drawing again which has helped my graffiti work grow. Tried to get back to basics and that has helped me see ways to work again and ways that I find interesting. So pretty happy with this year. I also figured out my art practice a lot with more text based practice, this blog has helped my writing too.
So to recap drawing, writing, commercial work have all reappeared. Have also tried to be honest with myself by letting go of my tag and stuff from the past, rather than doing an old school piece and flexing I just want it to be about art and what I do as an artist, I still love old school graffiti but I am so past it, I will do it for money or to reminisce with some old mates but I am not doing all that lettering, I will never get out of that ladder mentality where you have to endlessly compete with legitimate writers who should be doing trains not legals. I am all for legals and why have a tag when I am only doing legals? It is a bit sad, don’t just sit in the past forever and as far as I can tell I get respect for being me. It is tough love because your supposed to just do the same stuff over and over forever. When I stopped tagging streets in 2004 I had had enough of seeing my own tag, it bored me to tears let others do it. I never got to the very top but I did it for long enough and enough is enough. New blood let people do art by 2007 I stopped doing stuff on the lines great get over it it is time to do something different. I honestly still respect it and I probably respect it more than I should but it is over. It is creativity all the way see ya later alligator.
