Evoke - The A's to Our Q's:
Wooster: How did you get started in creating art for the street?
Evoke: I've drawn since i was wee, but when i moved from the woods to the cement it was something i got into right away.
Wooster: How would you describe your style?
Evoke: there was a time when all i could do was work from mistakes.. mistakeism i called it. just an improve type of thing that allowed for spontaneous creation to work at that moment and feel those emotions. Sometime it flops, as there are emotions that just make for awful work. Now, i dont know what i do, it takes time to see it for what it is and label it.
Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire and why?
Evoke: i like the work of people who share their highs and lows, hrmm... labrona, berzerker, other, dsturbo, gofish, peru, notime, royal, hope, twist, maki, erakahn, sonic3000, tele, human 5, jo mo,plus 3....there are so many.
Wooster: What's your favorite city, neighborhood, or block, to post and/or to see street art?
Evoke: Ottawa, there is so much great work here.. under buffs or ready to jump from the minds of the bizarrly amazing artists that live here. I believe in ottawa.
Wooster: What inspires you now?
Evoke: The numbness of Ottawa, the urgency that street art can share with the population ideas and emotions that will affect the communal conciousness.. these are important times.. graffiti has great power and i see it only beginning to be harnessed.
Wooster: What are you currently working on?
