Spaceman - The A’s to Our Q’s:
Wooster: How did you get started
in creating art for the street?
Spaceman: I wanted
to make work outside of a gallery setting, but continue working with space. I
was looking at a lot of grafitti artists that were doing site-specific work,
like banksy, blek, and space invaders, and it all seemed to click.
/>Wooster: Why the spacemen?
/>Spaceman: I found a lego minifig on my street in Rogers
Park. I wanted to duplicate it for the kids in the neighborhood.
/>Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire and
why?
Spaceman: Artists that have a love for their
neighborhood, and make work for themselves and people that occupy it.
/>Wooster: What’s your favorite city, neighborhood, or block,
to post and/or to see street art?
Spaceman:
Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, NY, Chicago. I see it everywhere and I love it
all.
Wooster: What inspires you now?
/>Spaceman: The sky, mars, life on earth.
/>Wooster: What are you currently working on? Can you give us
a sneak peek?
