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

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

Galleries are easier to steal from than the Apple Store, maybe.

I see a really good tag on a building, a man passed out in the middle of the street, a couple hugging, a cop arresting a panhandler. I'm interested in how all these things are happening in one block.

Drawings, paintings, and sculptures. That's the three pillars of art academia.

I like the idea that you can paint something outdoors, and anyone can see it. It's open to anyone, and people have to deal with it. In the gallery, it's the same 150 people on the San Francisco art scene. There's a dynamic on the street that's definitely more interesting.

Sebagian besar inspirasi masih datang dari bersepeda di sekitar San Francisco. Kota ini tidak pernah gagal menginspirasi saya. Ini adalah salah satu kota paling hidup - terutama secara visual - dengan aliran energi muda yang terus berdatangan setiap hari. Aku menyukainya.

If I could get the respect of 14-year-olds, I'm happy. They're the toughest audience.

Pekerjaan yang dilakukan secara ilegal di luar ruangan atau tanpa izin terasa seperti kebebasan murni bagi saya. Saya mengerti bagaimana hal itu dapat mengganggu banyak orang di masyarakat kita, tetapi dalam gambaran yang lebih besar, ini pada akhirnya adalah tentang kebebasan. Kita hidup di masa di mana ruang publik telah menjadi komoditas bagi perusahaan untuk mengendalikan dan mendikte apa yang dilihat dan didengar.

My artwork gets stolen all the time; it's ridiculous.
