Personaly I write because god wants it to happen. Or Allah, Moses, or whatever you wanna try and call something meaningful to a spiritual world, well graffiti is my meeting point with that. It's like going to church or what have you. If you don't think there is more to this understanding of life and afterlife, then I sympathize, neither did I.
Before I was in pursuit of an ego and some more confidence by controlling something like paint. When you paint it makes what you're doing at the moment the most important time in your life if you really know what's going on around you. Aside the adrenaline rush is why are you so fucking worried about getting busted or shot at? Cause the world is fucking nuts. Putting your gift of life in danger for no gain or value in the world aside maybe street fame. But if you smart street fame and bitches are just so much of what life offers or really is about. When you destroy property value and take away cash it's a good thing. Money is evil and it's sad that people started putting faith in money instead of themselves, each other, and living together. Money tears people away from each other and makes everybody greedy. Graffiti taking away money from people, thogh angering, takes away from the evil lock that has been created by humanity itself to try and determine the value of things. But watching money over time it has devalued what is resourceful to our life to be sustained on our own planet/ Plus we devalue how we treat each other and what we eat, drink, wear, and waste. Money makes humanity so lazy because it's easy to become gluttonous by hoarding things. It sucks I watch food here in america waste away in the garbage daily as I know the hunger that exists in a child's belly just an ocean away. God, Allah, or w/e I dont really care to name this, but the fury that exists and disappointment in mankind has to be present in whatever life force is behind our existence.
Pretty much graffiti made me realize humanity's flaws must be spoken of, or in the very least marked upon.
I paint to remind people that all this concrete, metal, and polluted garbage we've created will collapse on us one day. I paint to remind myself there is more to life than just this "game."
Graffiti isn't a game.
