I'd Been Painting Rats For

If You Have A Statue In The City Centre You Could Go Past It Every Day On Your Way To School And Never Even Notice It, Right. But As Soon As Someone Puts A Traffic Cone On Its Head, You've Made Your Own Sculpture.

The One Thing You Can Rely On Is If You Get Disturbed Halfway Through A Painting And It Looks A Bit Naff, Then Someone Will Preserve That Piece, Remove It And A Few Months Later It'll Be Paraded Round Sotheby's By People Wearing White Gloves.

You Owe The Companies Nothing. You Especially Don't Owe Them Any Courtesy. They Have Re-arranged The World To Put Themselves In Front Of You. They Never Asked For Your Permission, Don't Even Start Asking For Theirs.

I’ve Learnt From Experience That A Painting Isn’t Finished When You Put Down Your Brush – That’s When It Starts. The Public Reaction Is What Supplies Meaning And Value. Art Comes Alive In The Arguments You Have About It.

Graffiti Is One Of The Few Tools You Have If You Have Almost Nothing. And Even If You Don't Come Up With A Picture To Cure World Poverty You Can Make Someone Smile While They're Having A Piss.
