“Should #‎ graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It’s way more important than that”

I just wanna make the world a better-looking place. If you don’t like it, you can paint over it!

I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There’s no gallery show or book or film. It’s pointless. Which hopefully means something.

Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.

Fight the fighters, not their wars.

I tell myself I use art to promote dissent, but maybe I am just using dissent to promote my art. I plead not guilty to selling out. But I plead it from a bigger house than I used to live in.

You can win the rat race but you’re still a rat.

I don’t believe in anything. I’m just here for the violence.

I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens.

If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.

A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.

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.

The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.

Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.

All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?

Nobody knows what you feel inside unless you tell them.

If you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest then you have to live a lie.

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

A wall is a very big weapon. It’s one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with.

Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.

Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.

I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I’m not sure I like it enough.

The grumpier you are, the more assholes you meet.

All graffiti is low-level dissent, but stencils have an extra history. They’ve been used to start revolutions and to stop wars

I don’t think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.
