Paint Anything That Moves

Paint Whatever Your Heart Wants

Some freights are built different than others, & some are better to paint than others. Trash & recycling freights might be the worst ones to paint because they have huge metal pieces that extrudes out from the rest of the car. They aren’t the best to look at, but hell any freight train is good to paint. If it moves, it’s a canvas! When searching for freight layups I get happy & excited with anything I see. It could be a super old car from a decade ago that’s covered from head to toe & I could still be seen smiling the whole time. It’s enjoyable because of the amount of people who say that same freight, it’s mind blowing to know that other people see these things like garbage, but to trained eyes, this thing is a rolling canvas that we can all be a part of.

Collaborate is a huge way to benefit both parties. Most of the time, both parties receive equal benefits from collaborating with others. For example, Spotify partnered with Uber to create an enhanced rider experience for passengers & drivers. The partnership helped boost both brands awareness & helped increase both users loyalty to each company. While there are other music streaming services & other transportation services available, the partnership between the two help share the benefits & luxuries of each company.

Need another example? Look at Nike & Apple. Two completely different fields coming together to create works of art that are mutually beneficially to both parties. The Apple Watch Nike+ helped both parties utilize their strengths to build a device that is super reliable & useful.

Look at GoPro & Red Bull! This partnership lead to some of the most amazing footage ever captured. The ability to have a first-person point of view while doing some of the most absolutely absurd stunts is truly magical. What does an energy drink have to do with this? Pure marketing genius. Seeing a relationship with a company in another field could be the difference between success & failure. I think a lot of people could be helped & motivated to do more if they partnered with others to utilize each other’s strengths.

Being an artist, most of them are shy or more reserved. I too find it difficult to share some of my creations due to backlash or negative comments. But I don’t want to live in fear. If you don’t like it, don’t watch. There’s millions of accounts online & we don’t need to interact with all of them. If I see stuff I don’t like or care for, I just keep scrolling. I don’t give them the attention or engagement they are seeking.

In that same breathe, when I see something amazing or inspiring, I like to say that. I like to give props where its due. A simple like button or a fire emoji is a great way to show support & help others.

I forgot what the objective of this post was for. Just kinda sharing ideas & spit balling topics.

I like to paint whatever I can think of. I doodle in notebooks & sheets of scrap paper. I look at things I’ve seen online & try to draw them. I like to paint. The feeling I get when paint touches surfaces is surreal. I like getting paint on my hands & fingers. My phone case is a collection of different colors from different events & days. A mix of colors that I’ve used in spray paint & on brushes. I use leftover cans of paint for canvases, I sometime just spray random colors to see if i like the result. I have tons of canvases that are covered in paint & unfinished. My dining room is filled with all of the different pieces I’m working on or have completed in the last year. I don’t want to be one of those artists who hordes all of their paintings until they die & then the world is able to enjoy them. I want to showcase the good, the bad, & the ugly.

Here’s my work in picture form. Enjoy it please!

I posted this picture on Reddit & got a mixed response. Some say this writing is actually backward, but I think it’s pretty accurate. Nowadays people spend more time trying to kill their ego & not enough time fighting the real fights. We don’t focus on the genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, & Ethiopia. We don’t spend time realizing that America is funding both sides to perpetuate the cycle of violence around the world for the financial benefit of corporations & the billionaires.

I think this was one of the last days I was using this letter G. It’s very legible & simple, but I find that it’s not visually appealing & doesn’t flow nicely.

I personally believe that anything & everything is a canvas. Some places leave the art for longer than others, but paintings can & should be everywhere. If we’re forced to look at advertisements & other corporate nonsense, then we should be allowed to put our art anywhere we want.

Love yours!
