The Message

Graffiti is nothing if not a competition, and competition never ends. There's always something else to do and someone else to keep your eye on.

There comes a morning when you wake up and find yourself an adult that needs to make money, and that becomes a new challenge. Some people quit graffiti at this point, or they decide it's something best kept separate from dollar signs. For others, the challenge is channeling the creative spirit into a livelihood. Maybe it's a graphic design job; maybe a career in fine art. There's possibilities today that writers even 5 or 10 years ago laughed at - let alone writers 25 or 30 years ago. Yet here they are. The way out is all so often the way in.

When you began to write, what did you expect to come of it? A little rep and a lot of fun, we hope. Dip your index fingers into these inky waters for any other reason and it shows.

Recognize Real.
