Graffiti Bridge

Gone before your time Gone before your legend began. An artist of great caliber and talent will live on forever. In life we only hope for our legacies to be inspiring to others. As an artist, The ability to make Art imitate life is the ultimate self reward. Being a visionary and a revolutionist is only in your mind until you can provoke those ideas into the hearts and minds of the ordinary. Some may call him mysterious, while it cannot be denied his abstract behaviors make him taboo or even trivial. His legacy is almost somewhat myth. However, It's factual in order to be a pioneer of any sort, your greatest moments will never be publicized. The moment you finish a masterpiece, met the person who inspired you, and even the moment you were about to give up before the magic happened. As an intellectual I would only hope not to be martyred after my work was completed on this earth, before having seen my masterpieces devalued by the authorities that be that would later receive fortunes just to lend my art to museums where pieces of my imprint are so delicate they cannot even be openly photographed. We may not all be able to say we were mused by Madonna or had Blondie buy our first masterpiece, but as artists we have sat in our loneliness looking for inspiration and seeking piece of mind.

Without debate it is safe to say Madonna's sympathies are accurate, "He was too precious for this world." As one legend becomes Ash another will arise to bring balance to the universe. We are all models of excellence in some form at our greatest moments, but the difference in Kings and Queens remain evident. In order to be iconic excellence has to be standard. The streets of New York read "SAMO" ironically in a place where the same can never be the Superior. Havent we all felt like the world Was too perverse and that social norms were uncool. On the journey we all have to leave our imprint in this world, we must remember to reassure ourselves that anything authentic has to be recognized and respected.

I too have felt isolated by unintentional thoughts and premonitions. The idleness of the mind is something that creates beauty and inspiration. As a designer of beautiful things, my only objective is self fulfillment because in the end when you've reached nirvana within yourself and can transform interpretations into art the only thing that may be left to do is seek eternal salvation. The things you've left behind in the end are more valuable simply because it was not fabricated but rather touched by your eternal light. Guilty pleasures at that point could be eating $500 caviar then sleeping on the sidewalk to catch the sunset before grabbing cheese doodles for breakfast. No legendary individual in history or art lived a life that was not outside social norm, these legacies are consistently unconventional. In order to be great at whatever you do your mission must be one that does not conform. Then you have lived your lifetime while unintentionally transforming others.  The ultimate meaning of success remains obsolete until proven. Being exceptional as well as socially in tune has its own story in itself. The life of a artist must tell its story through masterpieces. In time the sun will shine just make sure your light is eternal.
