Bored to create or born to create?

I painted a wall today and some people were taking photographs and asked me what inspired me to paint. I said so many things, like marketing, science fiction and I couldn’t think of much else off the top of my head because there was too much. For me it’s a lifetime of inspiration, so much aerosol art. I was lost for words, because anything from architecture, design, art, performance and the list goes on. Even things that I don’t like give me ideas, the opposite ideas manifest, you could say. Even monotonous jobs have inspired me over the years, repetitive boring tasks have inspired me. Blank walls have inspired me, railway corridors, a wall in a park, cartoons, it just never ends. Maybe that is why graffiti never ends because the corporate landscape is full of potential. That is how it makes numbers grow, creativity is another symptom of the functional machine. In the cracks flowers grow. Aerosol Nature was the name of my first small zine I printed in 2009. Nature never tires. Build whatever you want but people will find a way to create something.

  1. There it is again!

    I’m sure of it!

    He said blank walls.

    Now is this manifested from his daily sojourns?

    or does he DREAM of them

    counting them one by one as they jump over a paddock fence

    until sleep comes
