Before the idea of writing on public surfaces even begins you need to be prewired with an obsessive compulsive desire to destroy property. You must have elevated instincts of standard vandalizing practices that can be delivered in a variety of creative ways depending on the situation.

 

Let’s take for example the simple task of breaking a window.  This has to be carried out with the utmost attention to detail. Is it plate glass, or safety glass?  Auto or  storefront? Do you use a rock or a brick? Are you with a group or by yourself? If with a group, like the punch line of any good joke……… timing is everything.


Take this destructive impulse and add one part 1980's NYC, one part kleptomania, two parts of insomnia, remove financial resources and mix together in an unsupervised household.


Then serve this concoction to a hyperactive, pre Ritalin un-medicated 12 year old with a bit of artistic ability and a recognition complex……… and the byproduct (a secondary and sometimes unexpected consequence) is pure graffiti adrenalin.
