En la calle y en el arte las reglas las voy a romper. Los grafiteros deberían preocuparse por pintar como más les guste, cada quien a lo suyo intentando hacerlo más duro y más cabrón cada vez. TSK:.

Erotic art is the most important art form to me. It is a declaration that you are proud to see the beauty in something others keep hidden or under strict control, that you can be confident in yourself and what you feel a natural attraction towards. The prouder you are, the better. There is a stigma attached that can make people look down on the genre or not want to interact with it at all. But that’s what makes it feel like an underdog tale to me, and a fight worth fighting.

There were many moments like this, but the most pivotal moment was when I dropped out of art school. I was a painting major but after starting to make videos with my friend Dave Stewart, I decided to drop out and teach myself how to write, direct, edit, and more. Making sketch comedy, graffiti, skate, and music videos led me to animation, which helped further define my art style. That led me to co-create a couple Adult Swim shows, which led to my involvement with Liquid Death.

My message and style is I don’t give a f*ck. I’m just here to paint this bat and piss people off.

Sometimes institutions don’t want my edgy/challenging art. Some of these places want to control what black art is. They only want to show what is comfortable for them.

When it comes to curating shows, the one thing I try to keep in mind is showcasing a glimpse of my world/reality. Including people is a huge aspect to my life, because our community is what shapes this culture. -GUEZ.

There’s an anonymous quality about graffiti. Nowadays, everything is documented – something interests you, you want your friends to know, so you post about it. I’m not against people posting more or less; I like social media. I think it brings more people together. But there’s still a level of mystery as to who some of these people are, and I think that’s really special for the time we’re living in.
SOVIET.
There’s no intentional message behind my painting besides an underlying current of being anti-establishment. I try to paint things I would find interesting if I weren’t the painter. I approach my work as someone outside myself, a fictional character. I want my art to make you think and laugh about the absurdity of life.

I hate talking about my achievements because my paintings derive from graffiti and I never got into design so I could flaunt. But it is necessary so people understand where you’ve been and where you’re going. I guess I got over that when I landed that art direction gig for the Super Bowl… Lil Wayne’s crying cause he’s not performing halftime, people cried when I made Native motion graphics for the game entrance

I remember at a Sound and Fury around 2013, I noticed a kid wearing a shirt I drew a few years back… I told him, “Hey, I drew that.” And he said, “No you didn’t.” And because I didn’t sign my art, I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t put my name on it, so it wasn’t real. And then he walked away. That was the first time I thought, ‘Okay, not only can I do this and have my work out there, I could potentially put my name on it.’
