Medium - The A’s to Our Q’s:

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

medium: I’ve been into
painting my whole life. I had a job at an arcade when I was 18 or 19. This very
attractive co-worker got word that I was into painting and for some reason
assumed that the painting I was into was graf. She asked me to take her out one
night and teach her how to spraypaint, and I said: “uh…sure”. So in the week
before our date I tried to teach myself to spraypaint and got hooked. I don’t
talk to that girl anymore.

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

medium:
Twist because he is the best. Thesis because he’s not frightened to be
called an art fag. Green because hes got balls, and Toye, just cause Toye’s a
good guy.

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

/>medium: Kennsington Market, cause you can do whatever you
want and nobody cares. Good vibe, lots of character art over there.

/>Wooster: What inspires you now?

medium:
The sense of competition used to really get me working, but I think
I’ve mellowed out in the last bit. I think that the art community in general
inspires me to work, its nice to be a part of something. I grew up in a small
town with little culture, so its nice to come here and learn of all these people
who are thinking about some of the same stuff as I am.. Does that make sense?


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

medium: I just finished the
book that I’ve been working on for the last few months, drawings and stuff. I
wheatpasted up some of the extra pages last night. My buddy Aubry and I have
been working on some puppets lately as well, hopefully we can get a puppet show
out on the street corners soon. So yeah, near future = more puppets I guess, and
keeping up with the canvas pieces and street art.
