i love graff. the thrill, the risk, the fact that what you do is potentially viewed by thousands of people every day and yet nobody knows who you are. You are the constant, relentless force in the background everywhere.
I am very aware of the consequences. I have my entire life set out in front of me. a job, university, school, family, friends. all of these will crumble if graff is discovered in my life. Whilst i have considered if it is all worth it, i think it is definitely worth it. Graffiti brings a different, exciting face to life and really just keeps things interesting above all else.
On your point of depression, i can relate a bit there. But instead of... increasing depression i guess, i feel that graffiti pushes it down. there is no other feeling like painting.
Whilst i don't think you should quit (you are improving, just keep with it) it is completely your choice

good luck in life

 

I believe I explained my answer to this question to you in PMs once, but for the sake of everyone else:
I am firstly and foremostly in my heart an artist and a performer. I can't help but want to add something to the world. There are some walls that just look too sad, some spaces that just look empty. I feel like these spaces should be filled. This is tied to the reason I chose the name TANZ. It's a command: dance. It brings color to this dull world.

Maybe that's overly idealistic, but that's fine with me.

 

From about age 11-12 I knew I wanted to paint because I saw the self expression and covering of blank spaces beautiful

 

when I get dipsressed Its nice to paint and a lot of people in my fam uses to paint are still painting
and ofcourse the thrill
