art suspect
I suspect you've noticed that making art can be lonely.
art always-trying world
I'm always trying to bring unusual content to a different audience - a non-art-world audience.
artist worry stuff
I seldom have my stuff up unless I'm testing it. If I'm worrying about a painting, I put it up and see if I detest it quickly or slowly. Otherwise I have things by other artists.
artist worst worst-day
On the worst days, I don't feel like an artist.
art stars people
That's the test of street art – to see if anybody stopped. People would cross out ones they didn't like and would star others. I liked that people would engage with them.
artist honest never-good-enough
If you are an artist and you are honest, you are never good enough.
art long littles
A little knowledge can go a long way.
art mean names
A name means a lot just by itself.
art people special
Exceptional people deserve special concessions.
art remember-you remembers-you
Remember you always have freedom of choice.
art important
Everyone's work is equally important.
art people language
I used language because I wanted to offer content that people - not necessarily art people - could understand.
art good-person being-a-good-person
It's better to be a good person than a famous person.
artist ideas people
I wasn't sure I was an artist, so I thought maybe I just was throwing ideas out for people to consider.
