the cats again, draw, facebook, learn, watch “The Office”. I think I left a few things out but something like that. Is there any particular era of art or graffiti style that you are most influenced by? In terms of art movements I think I draw most from abstract expressionism, surrealism, and pop art... Full abstraction, devoid of a visible human subject is not the easiest pill for everyone to swallow, but I like to take these complex and mysterious configurations and kinda float them in space present them as fun, digestible bits of art and design that you can
welcome into your space like a little shrine or conversation/meditation piece. Most of them don’t have the simplified flat spaces of pop art, but I try to imbue just a bit of pop’s levity and whimsy. And graffiti most certainly had and continues to have a huge impact on what I do. The bright and expressive colors play some some role, but the true influence is in the loose, loopiness of tagging. Quick, scribbly (and I mean that in a good way) and gestural, my impression of the lines of a tagger definitely provide fuel for my art flow.
