" The mind of Crist Espiritu is a cesspool – gurgling with crayon bubbles of gutter aches spitting strange character anomalies. It is as if he tore up everyday characters and icons, mixed and stirred their parts up in a giant septic tank and jigsawed these fragments back up with his eyes closed.
Loaded with vivid colors and psychedelic residues, there is the impression that a permanent sneer guided the production of his works. For Espiritu, living is one grand sick joke – pathetic and obscene but nonetheless entertaining. "

I took the lyrics from my favorite Suede song and wrote it in my Cassette sticker. Still thinking where i should put this on the street. Hmmm.
My cat/studio-mate Mister Science expresses his apathetic views towards our existence through slap tagging.
I wish i have a proper studio so i can make time-lapsed videos of big pieces…oh well
My “cassette sticker” is designed to share to random people in the streets lyrics that inspire me. Maybe they’ll recognize the words and get hyped before another uneventful day at work, maybe they will start listening to the band…maybe a simple phrase will change their course of action that day…I don’t know…whatever. My point is I like my street art pieces to serve as something that takes away the boredom of a pedestrian’s routine…something that might make him stop and contemplate for a while.
This first series are words from one of my favorite bands… THE CLASH!!!
