“You can’t help it. An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.”
–Nina Simone

The ability for street art to exist and be shared across digital platforms is transforming both public reactions and generational social cognizance. In a society where those retaining power hope to control cultural environments and social exchanges, artists become creators of repeatable images of truth.

SO excited to announce Philadelphia, Goddamn, a group show co-curated by Eric Preisendanz of Little Berlin and myself featuring art and artists that seek to expose, reveal, represent, and reflect the truths of our time!

    1) None of the racist commenters below have ever commented on this site before, that is to say that they are not my normal readers/audience.

    It has become painfully clear that YOU have no normal readers/ audience.
    No one to troll.

    Your last 5 stories have a grand total of 0 comments.

    Good luck in YOUR future endeavors (and yes, I would like to super-size those fries)

    LMAO
