Here’s a vid from our recent Miami trip at the end of last year. It was really a graffiti overload, there was writers EVERYWHERE and you could pretty much paint what you wanted. I got to meet KEM5 and EWOK for the first time also, absolute LEGENDS!!

im getting deep… if u want graff scroll past this

By sofles | Published: February 4, 2012

I’ve been on a bit of a wild journey the last few years, trying to work out how the world works and which direction I should follow. I’ve learnt a lot and changed more than I can imagine. I’ve learned that being a hater gets you nowhere, I’ve learnt to appreciate the things I have and look at life with a bit more appreciation. I notice people droning out, being negative, judging others faults, wondering why they’re stuck in a shit cycle, and dissing people for problems when really the problem is with themselves. Iv learnt the world works very different to how we are told in school and the mysteries of the universe far exceed our imagination.

I believe in some pretty strange theories and after doing lots of reading and research I see my life in a completely different light. I used to be a strong atheist, I used to fucking realm on shit and loose my mind with anger over trivial shit on the daily. I used to wish death and pain on people who pissed me off. I’m a pretty firm believer all this shit gets pent up and actually attracts more angry folicles of shit to you. I thought a diagram might be good…

I only need to look at examples from the graffiti scene to realize this. In the blue corner, I’ve met so many positive writers who have a really good perspective on shit and low and behold GOOD shit comes their way. In the red corner, I know a heap of angry, bitter, jealous haters who are constantly bitching and dissing people and perpetual shit comes their way. But so many people aren’t prepared to look in the mirror and go “Oh shit, I’ve go my fuckwit switch stuck on!?!”

It seems lately more and more I’m having deep conversations with people about interesting shit like this, with all kinds of different people. Writers, randoms, the fam and old friends. I believe old civilisations were far advanced than us. I believe the world works through energy and vibrations. I know there is a lot of other life in the universe. I know the planet we live on has a strong consiousness, aswell as the whole universe and beyond. I think dreaming is way more important than we think, and can guide and give you messages from a higher self. I think what we are living in is more of an illusion.

The month leading up to my house getting raided for graffiti in 2008, I had a 4 dreams (one a week) so vivid and real of the raid happening. 4 dreams. Id woken up in sweats and put it down to paranoia… I couldn’t pinch myself hard enough when it was actually happening. I remember thinking “shit son, I’ve gone and done did it now, should have fucking listened to that shit”. I often have dreams and they end up playing out for me, I fucking spin out. It feels like a wierd de ja vu, and I think this shit cant be happening, I dreamt this shit like a month ago and now its actually playing out…

My life in the last three or so years since I’ve been changing my perspective on stuff has been coincidence after cowinkidink. So much mad/bad shit has happened, and I kind of feel like with life these opportunities are put in front of you for a reason. Im happy I got done 3 years ago. I was a very different person then and I needed a wake up call. This is a perfect example of what should have been the shittest situation actually being exactly what I NEEDED.  I remember being hancuffed in boxers on my lounge room floor thinking, “Fuck, I cant let these police see me scared” I was fucking shit scared. A deep fear every writer or criminal fears, the one of fighing the law and them winning. It was such a strong feeling a felt crook. Alas they had won this battle. Graffiti taskforce were popping bottles that night…

After the initial 5 minutes of me shitting myself and realizing it wasn’t the 5th raid dream this month, I made a conscious decision to be the coolest motherfucker to ever have his house raided, im talking cooler than a polar bears toenail cool. The fear left me and although the tension in the room was hectic I calmed myself and started making fun of some of the cops who were taking their jobs a bit serously. I think half the cops were like “WTF are we at these dudes house? They are artist stoners who have good relationships with their neighbors, have 3 chickens and paint canvases and the odd galv.” I could see it on their face…  Especially when the 70yr old lady next door was upset and yelled at them “Leave them alone, they are such lovely boys!”

It was hard getting snapped but I realised I could sit and dwell about it or I could see it as a positive thing and do a shit load of things to make me look good in court as well as improving my skills and lifestyle. Probably good they took the buge… So instead of slanging, piecing whenever I wanted and partying with no limits, I had to move back in with the parents, straighten my head out and start doing some serious saving for a lawyer (coming straight out of low cash). The case dragged on and while my computer was getting processed and the case was getting built, I started chasing every art opportunity/job I could find. I figured if graffiti got me into this, Graffiti can get me out. Before long I was earning (some weeks) more than before I’d busted. My artwork improved and I knew the art was paying for my lawyer so it pushed me to nek level my shit.

By the time court came I was pretty nervous, with 4 prior graffiti charges I figured it would be a good chance I’d be looking at some time. I got a woman judge who was chill – win no.1. I’d payed 15G for the best criminal lawyer in Bris – win no. 2. And between the time I got jacked and the time I went to court, I’d done community work, started a tafe course and done a heap of public art which was on display. Im a pretty firm believer that the universe aligned for me that day. My arresting officer (with all his misguided hate for me) had organised reps from channel 7,9 and 10 to be there to grill me and report on how fucked I am. They took the story as a good thing, I’d got off because my artwork was colourful and (by the public opinion) not really offensive. Winning.

People need to wake up and realize that life is pretty fucking good. If your girlfriend rips your heart out, its probably because you have done the same to someone. If some really wak shit happens it could be a moment in your life where you have a challenge to do some serious character building. If you loose your job, it could be a sign you need to flex on what you REALLY want to do. Take a situation as it comes. Learn from it. Be open to the idea that shit isn’t how you think it is and that stuff like karma isnt some made up buddist belief.  The universe works in funny ways and if your a perpetual dick one day a giant dick might fall down from space and crush your negative ass. Beleedat.

Dont judge people, you probably also have “shit qualities” yourself that need fixing before you start pointing fingers. Dont kill shit (in a non graffiti sense, when talking about graffiti- feel free to kill shit). Enjoy everyday as it comes, the cycles (or spirals) of life will go up and down. Be nice to people, even if they are shit. Tell them they are shit, but in a nice way spacer Have a think about why your here, what you love doing and if its good for your lifestyle. Go for a fucking walk. Look at clouds, tell a tree its a bowss (did you know a tree wrote the original for “Hustlin”-  by Rick Ross? But the lyrics were “everyday im RUSTLING”?!?! real shit). Hooking up mad oxygen for your lung thingys. Once you start realizing how incredible everything is and enjoying the small things (showing appreciation) life gets way better.

…well that’s what grinds my gears, I’ve chucked on some random stuff I’ve watched lately. Some might be pretty boring to you but there is some real talk in there for sure. Like I said if you don’t like it go watch Late night with Jimmy Kimmell.
