C.R.A.P Art - The A’s to Our Q’s:

Wooster: How did you get started in creating
art for the street?

C.R.A.P Art: I first started
experimenting with wheat pasting in 1996, but I didn’t get serious until 1999
when I was living in New Orleans.  I wanted a way to balance the work that I was
showing in galleries, and a way that people could collect free work and take it
for themselves if they desired. 

Wooster: What
other street artists do you most admire and why?

C.R.A.P
Art: I admire all the usual heavyweights, Banksy, WK, Invader, etc.  I
really enjoy the work that I have seen by Fosik and RotGut.  A nice, dirty feel. 
Here in Chicago, Silva and friends has installed some terrific images lately. 
And the work of the FMK crew who taught me alot as I got started a long time
ago.

Wooster: What’s your favorite city,
neighborhood, or block, to post and/or to see street art?

/>C.R.A.P Art:  I would have to say Chicago is great to see
work in because I appreciate the effort that people go through to install here. 
The shelf life can be pretty short. Frenchman St. in New Orleans was always fun
as well.

Wooster: What inspires you now?:

/>C.R.A.P Art: The possibilities that are around each corner.
Wandering around the city with no destination point.

/>Wooster: What are you currently working on?  Can you give us
a sneak peek?

C.R.A.P Art:  Drawing on found
blueprints, scrap metal, and the like.
