At the Bauhaus Resturant in Vancouver BC – “My whole graffiti career started with me tagging with my friends, and I wanted to pay tribute to that beginning, so I had the canvas tagged up with some friends. We were working on the canvas in my yard where my gardener was working. He asked what it was, and when I said it was my art piece, he replied with vigor “THIS, THIS IS NOT ART!” He was rather adamant about it, and so in an alley off Hastings, me and 2 others put the art lettering over the tags in white. This is speaking about the white institutionalized gallery walls, in stark comparison to the completely covered walls we paint in the streets”.
