^God by Delta INC TFP ^

 

 

 

Zappo;

A litte later I painted a similar piece as Delta, but with my style.

Some took it as a battle or what not, but for me it was to show that I took offense.

Zappo VS Delta

-Zappo VS Delta part 1: Clash Of The Gods

Interview with Zappo, October 2009 published in Fat Cap#17

 

Fat Cap;

So what's the story behind those God piece's you and Delta has done?

 

Zappo;

Caster showed me a magazine with Delta's God piece.

My immediate reaction was that it´s blasphemy,

and took offense that he painted a sacrilegiously piece about God.

No matter if you're a believer or not , there's some things you got to respect.

 

 

Fat Cap;

So it's about respect?

 

Zappo;

You got to respect other peoples believes , no matter if you're a believer or not.

 

 

 

-Zappo VS Delta part 2: Don't bite the phunk!

 

Fat Cap;

I recently saw that you painted at the same spot as Delta in Oslo.

In a similar style that Delta usually does,what's the story behind that?

Zappo;

Well , the sketch I did I did on that wall I had done back in 86, so that's my style, not his to claim.

^The sketch from 86 , that was featured in Underground Productions #8^

 

Fat Cap;

You sure Delta knows that you rocked that style before him?

 

Zappo;

Yes , it's published in Underground Productions #8 and it's all over the web.

it's out there.

I even got props for it when I was in Amsterdam back in 93, so Delta knows for sure.

smash137 quote:

You touched on the subject biting in your book “Smash Proof”. We all know that you are a Writer who inspires like almost no one else and also set a certain trend. Let’s have a look to New Zealand, for example. How do you handle it and what do you call biting at last? Where is the edge between inspiration and originality?

I don’t like in any case what has happened in New Zealand. I have also tried to stop it , but pretty unsuccessfully except for the fact that the New Zealanders are now thinking that I am a hater and begrudge them the attention. In principle, I really like it that my works are influencing others, at the same time I am also disappointed quite often that many of them just don’t notice where something comes from and simply regard it as a present trend instead. However, meanwhile I have also comprehend that the same people are pretty clueless about what happens in the style progress in general and that they are more interested in graffiti because of the action and the many beautiful colors and stories. For me biting means, if I look at a picture and it reminds me of another Writer than the one who has made it. For me inspiration means to have a picture of someone else in mind which you like to reach. And finally originality is simply not to run after the Writer who are you modeling on but to cut one’s own path to reach the goal.
