Burn353 - The A’s to Our Q’s:


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

Burn353:
I have been a skateboarder since i was five. I use to graffiti up the
tops and bottoms of my skateboard decks. Then my friends had me do their boards.
Then i had to graffiti their ramps. The next thing you know i did an indoor
skate park wall. I went to college in Chicago and while i was there i got into
some real street art. Just leaving small works lying around, to painting up some
old burnt down buildings.

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

Burn353: To be
totally honest. I admire them all. Its not easy. It would be easier for all of
us to give up and just set at home and do nothing. I would have to name all of
the artists on your site and then some. I just love street art and the people
who do it. everyone has their own spin on things. Its great.

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

Burn353: Its a
tie between St. Louis and Chicago.

Wooster: What
inspires you now?

Burn353: My wife, God, and the
energy from other artists i meet.

Wooster: What are
you currently working on?

Burn353: I am doing a
series of skateboard decks. I’m texturing a lot of them before i paint them. It
has been very interesting. Can you give us a sneak peek? no problem.
