We both grew up in Southern

California, I'm not gonna say where.

Having a good graffiti partner...

you either have a good one, or you

don't have one at all.

I mean, you're better off painting by

yourself

if you can't trust the person your

with.

I really like having a good partner.

Having a good partner,

someone that's solid and steady, and

some one you don't have to worry about,

that's the best thing in the world.

I mean, graffiti is basically this:

It's 1. Creating some kind of letter

or message, right? So you gotta design.

2. Getting the supplies.

3. Getting the spot.

4. Getting to the spot.

5. Attempting it, pulling it off,

and then coming back and

documenting it. And that's it.

To get people to notice your sh*t, you just gotta

go up huge, right up in their face, humongous!

Like, "how the f*** did they do it?

What the f*** did they do that with?"

That's the approach I'm going for.

We got really good at doing pieces in

illegal spots. Like, full color, wild style

and most times, better than the

stuff you can see

on a legal wall that took four

hours.

It's vandalism. I like vandalism!

I'm a vandal!

I'm creeping past peoples' windows,

climbing their fire escapes.

Basically walking right past peoples' heads, almost,

to get to these spots. And nobody's saying sh*t!

Most writers are total f***in' wankers,they're

just punks, you know. That's how I started.

I just got sophisticated, or

changed, adapted,

because it's something l

like to do, it's good therapy for me.

It's my release in life; it's what l

like to do.

I walk around town with my head

held high.

They don't know nothing' about

that.They don't know anything about it.

It's none oftheir business, that's

my business.

I'm a writer, a graffiti writer.

I write the Nom' de plume of my

alter ego, all over the place.

I've written on everything and

chances are

you most likely seen me

up in the streets.

I love letters

I'm a letter fiend.

I was a normal kid. Yeah

right!

I was a bit of a wild child!

I was always into something, some

kind of mischief, some kind of trouble.

I picked up on writing at an early

age though, probably fourth grade.

And ever since then I've

dedicated myself to the craft.

At first it was fun and games, and

then the addiction kinda grew.

At this point, it's kinda' like a

religion to me.

I know it might sound strange, but

it's my way of prayer.

It's like a meditation in a way, a

release.

It's a praise to the good, and

a sacrifice to the bad.

It's creative destruction really; you're

creating, and at the same time, you're destroying.

I figure I've gone this far,there's

no real reason to turn back now.
