Interview by Brian Gonnella
When I was a younger asshole, I used to spend a lot of my online lurking on graffiti.org—poetically dubbed, “Art Crimes, the Writing on the Wall”. This was before everyone in the fucking world had photobucket and flickr pages and I remembered being floored by all the quality art posted from all corners of the globe. One of my personal heroes was this guy from Australia who wrote AEON—a name that I was drawn to in this Freudian way because Final Fantasy X had just come out and I was playing it too much. In the game, “Aeons “were these wild, bright, crazy-looking Japanese monster/spirit things you could summon to fight bosses and shit and for the sake of this article, suppose that in some convoluted way, the AEON I saw on the wall embodied the same in spirit. All of these pieces unique. They were actually memorable and stayed with me in my sketches. Crazy looking letters, bright-ass colors, brilliant color schemes—and perhaps the most important thing in all graffiti: good arrow usage.
