MoMo

Bon après-midi!

Since the first second I realized that I'm wasting the amazing opportunity that I have at The 700 House; all the space and freedom, I've been making it a point to look up something every day pertinent to the Art Field.

Yesterday, I found this:

This graffitti artist loaded up a mass of paint into a home-made hopper on the back of his bicycle and rode an 8 mile expanse of grid spelling out his tag name across the island of Manhattan.  It's amazing.  Near the end of the article it mentions what people thought that this hot-orange line was; worn down to oblivion in some places and still fresh after four years in some.  That, to me, is the actual testemant to the artist.
