    I just feel different when I'm out there. Whether its hitting up tags or bombing pieceing whatever, it's like everything else just doesn't matter. I'm sure it's happened to other people when you make a line with the can and you realize that was the only thing in the world. For that split second, all i see is the wall and the cn and the paint, all i hear is the sound of the spray, all i smell is paint. For once, you can just 100 percent focus on one thing, without thinking about anything else.

    I have lived in the same boring ass city I was born in . Nothing special actually there's gangs and crews but it lacks everything. Tpys of whatever that call themselves artists and shit- the good artists left cause its crap here but there's a few good ones still. The graffiti scene SUCKS----- so that motivates me to do better & keep hope to graff artists. I'm sure if I lived somewhere else where graff is huge I'd be more out there, but I feel like me & the crew have to straighten up people's fucked up view on graff and tear the walls ... after all we built them.

    The first thing that keeps me into graffiti was to saw the graffiti and the tags in my town, and i decided to try to do a piece, i really like to do it, so i showed it to my friend and we start to paint :) its really awsome see your tag in all the towns that u go and listen people speak about your pieces, and is also a form expression of myself:D its really difficult stop to write or stop to think about it, because when im whit my friends we always speak about graffiti etc.. ;)

    The rush, seeing marker tags a year later, sneaking into yards, catching my trains, running from the bull, hiding in bushes, late nights, meeting other writers. The list goes on and on and on but this isn't my only passion.

    Well I'm motivated because there is no graf scene where I live. Out in rural areas there's nothing but old abandon houses. It kinda gives you the feeling that you could be starting something yourself. Of course there's gangs but they're not about the art itself. It's all we own this, I like the art. Being your own person with your own style. I always want people to look at things I've done and react like "How did he do that?" "How did he get that there?" "What if I can do that?" While everyone sees what you've done, nobody knows who you are.

    It's a mixed emotion >.<
