I know people who are miffed about not hitting some fame/money game but sometimes I feel like the luckiest man alive. Only in that I don’t have anyone breathing down my neck about some art product or relevant art game moves. I know I am the one losing but I also get to do whatever I feel like. I think the therapy side of the art game is where I keep winning. Sure work can be stressful but at least art isn’t stressful.
Graffiti overall just doesn’t matter and I am a master of the just doesn’t matter graffiti game. I love it even more than objects because it becomes a memory and something that exists but doesn’t exist at the same time. A sort of glitch in the functional form in that the form has no function. I like to think of it as the portal as a lot of graffiti artists do. It is a portal that rather than let you pass through allows you to exist in an anonymous crowd passing through the system.
Embrace who you are, embrace your own imagination, allow yourself to make portals to worlds you can share. Hip Hop created opportunity so you can be who you are.
