| FIELD NOTES: | Most children are born with a desire to write on walls. For some of us, that instinct doesn’t diminish with age. “The kid in this piece represents the rebellious childlike nature that is in all of us,” Deadboy told us. “Everyone is born with a natural instinct to write on walls; street artists just take this to a literal level… Makes me feel like a kid again, and I love that!” While that’s not his only motivation for his street creations, on his website Deadboy also cites the corporate media taking over our cityscape and his desire to brighten the uglier aspects of our city. Sometimes it just feels great to satisfy our inner child. |
