My avatar is a graffiti artist. He has strong convictions and realizes that often what is legal or illegal is not the defining line between what is right and wrong. He avoids the authorities and knows that anonymity has a great strength. He works mostly at night and as quickly as he can, not having the time to consider and edit but accepting it as the reality of the here and now. He is attempting to publish work whose artistic status is debated on a mostly non-receptive public. While his artist can be seen as coming from the art of the past it has made a jump from old forms and old contexts to the urban and the fractured. His medium is variable, and he uses this to his advantage. Sometimes colours leap off the wall and sometimes they are greyscale or intentionally underplayed. He works with different nozzles, having no preference for any but as an instrument of communication. Still, he has a style and he has a goal. His works is political, cultural, social, male, female, gay, straight, obscene, humorous, serious, dark, light; it is anything that conveys himself or his feelings onto the walls of the city and into the collective consciousness of its people.
