As a street artist, I'm used to sharing my stuff with the public. It's a communal experience. I've learned not to be so precious, but rather to enjoy the process.

The way I make art, the way a lot of people make art, is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.

I've never had an original thought in my lifeand there's tons of people on the internet happy to tell me just that.

I try to find a balance between positivity and negativity, celebration and critique in my work; I think there is room for both.

A lot of people felt defeated and hopeless by Trump's election. But I feel his election should energize people to resist apathy, ignorance, sexism, xenophobia, and racism.

I do think that copyrights and intellectual property are important - it's important to be able to keep people from making verbatim copies of a particular creation that could somehow hurt the creator. If I spend time conceiving and making a piece of art and somebody else sees that it has market value and replicates it in order to steal part of my market, then that's not cool.

If the idea that my safety can only be enhanced by putting other people's privacy and safety in danger, then I don't want to be more safe.
