ART
When you stop long enough to look at art you find that it is its own world. There are so many different places you can go in this world of worlds. The beautiful thing about it all together is art is free in every way. There is no judgement that “should” come with the expression of it.
When we enter the “real” world we are entering into a mindset that has been around for ages. A universe is waiting to teach, arrange, and is ready to control every thought that we process.
When a person is born into the art world we enter it with nothing waiting to change us and nothing waiting to send us away. The art world is there to show how and what you are in an artistic manner. It’s like getting a blank piece of paper and letting your hand go. When you can stop long enough to let your mind go and just be you, that’s when the “magic” happens.
When it comes to ART I think I can speak for anyone living in this secret world when I say “it’s what we love, it’s what we do, and it’s who we are. We live and breathe what comes naturally to us.”
When people decide to join the world of artistic expression it’s for a lot of reasons but two big reasons are, 1. There is no other way to express what’s going on inside you. 2. You are standing on the outside looking in and everything in you wants to know what it’s like to let your mind go free.
When I found out at a young age that I can say whatever I want to say through words I found relief. As time has gone on I have changed and grown just as much as my writing and love for art. I finally overstood that the ability I found when I was young has opened the door for many things.
The world of art has been criticized, talked about, laughed at, and under appreciated but for those who live in that world… We love it and know that for us there is no better place to be. Just maybe if more people joined our world there would be happier people out there in that “real” world.
I have found that we all live life differently and we all have to express that in our own way of expressing it. For me that expression is somewhere in the art world and I’m happy right here in it

50th anniversary of the March on Washington
The world's most talked about street artist commemorates the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington
JR faces Atlanta
About a dozen people have gathered at the corner of Auburn Avenue and Hilliard Street in Old Fourth Ward to watch today's most talked about street artist put up a mural. JR, as the Parisian artist is known, climbs the frame of a three-story scaffold, maneuvering around its bars and through each landing's hatch like it's a jungle gym. JR's preferred medium is wheatpaste, essentially gluing a paper image to a wall. His team of assistants follows one by one, quickly filling in the levels below him. The 30-foot-by-40-foot black-and-white photograph is unfurled in long strips, slowly revealing a trio of young men carrying signs, one of which says, "NO MORE HUNGER."
The image is a reproduction of a Steven Blum photograph from the Poor People's Campaign of 1968, a civil rights demonstration envisioned by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and realized shortly after King's death. A few hours later and a couple of blocks down the road at Edgewood Avenue and Hilliard Street, JR and his team begin swift work on a second mural. This one's a dramatic still from the 1963 March on Washington taken by Flip Schulke. The opportunity to commemorate this month's 50th anniversary of the march and MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech in the neighborhood where the civil rights hero grew up is what piqued JR's interest in Atlanta, and ultimately helped Living Walls get him here
