Some people are enraged, and some people are applauding. If there were a mission statement for graffiti, that would be it.

Most inspiration still comes from bicycling around San Francisco. This city never fails to inspire me. It is one of the most vibrant cities - especially visually - with a constant influx of young energy arriving daily. I love it.

I'm really into California art from the '60s.

The parts of graffiti I like are really antagonizing still - it's not something that a museum would really embrace.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. Its the most radical thing.

That's immediately how I gauge how healthy a city is-by the amount of tags. It's just in direct competition with advertising. It's still one of the last things that hasn't been corrupted.
