Why don’t you just do graffiti on paper??

here’s why

Let me tell you why that mindset is dangerous. Imagine a world where every wall, every corner, every public space is dictated by government-approved beige or corporate advertisements. A visual landscape controlled by entities with money and power, offering you nothing but sand-colored blandness and consumerism.

This isn’t just a hypothetical—it’s already happening. Public spaces are shrinking under the weight of rules that favor profit over personality. Platforms like social media promise visibility, but artistic expression loses its soul when filtered through a screen. Think about it—there’s a reason people travel across the world to see the Sistine Chapel in person. Art is meant to be experienced, imperfections and all, in the real world.

When platforms prioritize profit, they push out anything that doesn’t fit their agenda. If your art doesn’t drive clicks or ads, it disappears. The result? A sterile world that’s uninspired, forgettable, and devoid of personality.

So, what’s the real solution? It’s simple: use your public space. Take action. Graffiti, skateboarding, that weird knitting stuff—these are ways to reclaim what’s ours. They inject color, personality, and life into a world that desperately needs it. Be the change you want to see. If you don’t, who will?

I’ve seen the magic of what happens when people take this step. Walls transform into conversations. A blank alley becomes a gallery. These actions inspire others to think differently about public space and how we interact with it.

The next step is yours to take. Grab a can, a marker, or whatever speaks to you, and leave your mark on the world—literally. A more colorful, creative world is out there waiting. Don’t let it be silenced by those who see public space as just another product.

Go out. Create. Be the change.

Stay colorful,
