I truly failed to connect with this guy, He was all me me me and appeared to be primarily defending what he believes which in all fairness was total tripe. His views were blinkered and unlike most artists that I have met was completely closed to any discussion which challenged his beliefs. Maybe the arty lot got something out of it but certainly not me.
the general gist was:
 |
| This is street art |
 |
| This however, is NOT! |
|
You try and get your head round that one because I certainly can't!
