The road is both smooth and bumpy so hold on tight, let go, and come along for the ride. What will you need? A good heart, a few minutes, some courage, a lot of art medicine, a sketch book, and the re-membering of how to play and create a new world with every breath you take! May you be blessed more than ever!
When there is
something to say!
(and the wall asks you to) ms
-i dont do that, but have ideas-ideas? jr
When you are
remembering someone or commemorating something.
When you want to beautify the surroundings. With permission of course! jc
When I make the time. pt
Only with my purple crayon. ed
When the bar you're in is named The Graffiti. rk
Acually ive
been drawing on the floor and then these images become dreams of ceilings
that i walk onto.
Earth and heaven but no boundries, not a labrynth maze in site.jhh
When I feel
like it and I don't think it will bother anyone too much...
What i wrote the last time is still there and has affected
several people. mj
Today . mt
When I want
to create something that can only be created by painting it,
drawing it, making it directly on the walls, something that I will
appreciate all the more because I cannot take it with me when I go
(kinda like life and all in it!), something I appreciate just where it
is because I cannot move it (although I CAN change it, improve it,
destroy it, enhance it, etc.). When I want to create an impromtu work of
art with friends, children (mine and/or others). When I realize that
it's something that can easily be gone over with paint, but if done with
panache, why would I? rd
When I am on
the phone I have been known to write and doodle on the wall.
My ex-husband did not like that habit at all.
I write or draw on a wall if other people have defaced it already. ds
Say , what?
What walls? jh
In public restrooms. Sometimes at home. ar
In public restrooms. Sometimes at home. a
What the heck are you talking about?! db
When do you
write or draw on the walls?
sometimes I can't keep my fingers off the chalk when I'm
in my son's room. We were just talking about doing
a grafittie piece on his wall. bg
First when you're three years old and your parents aren't looking. After getting reprimanded, you don't try again until you are teenager and tired of hearing only reprimands. It feels great and just as powerful as the first time too. Later freedom is recognized outside those four familiar walls, so the canvas expands to the outside world. Eventually a more subdued lifestyle descends as you look toward creating a new set of four familiar walls. Then the power of remodeling takes over, and once again you are free to vent your latent rebellion and scribble all over those walls. But it remains only until demolition time, because you know the reprimands are sure to follow. ld
Hmm - only rarely. Right before demolition. Not very artistic, I'm afraid... jh
when the walls
are blank and your soul must speak.
when you need to speak so much that you don't care about the mess, about
messing up the nice clean walls.
when the outside is such a lie compared to the inside, the outside walls
can't hide the truth any longer. mm
From the moment
you awake to the moment you arrest
From the moment you wake to the moment you sleep
From the moment your conceived to the moment of your demise
Always as a spirit, always as a whisper in the wind.
With your eyes, your breath, your thoughts and soul
you write upon the walls that surround you. th
I haven't written
on the wall for a long time, though I drew upon a piece of paper, on the
wall for over 12 years.
Now I paint. On wood, on a drafting table, arched over the work for a long
as I can
possibly stand the physical needs of it every day.
The last time I wrote on the wall, on its paint, was about a year ago...someone's
phone
number and the name of a magazine, just before I went to Italy looking for
clocks and
trees in May. cr
Not often enough! Want to? ds
when I am young.
when I was five or so and we moved into a new
home, I had learned to make a check mark(¯). I had never learned to make
anything so kewl and so I was very excited. I learned it from all the moving
boxes that had a check mark on the side of them.
I picked up the big indelible marker and started checking off everything I
could. I had done most things in the house, including the piano seat before
they caught me.
The last time I drew on the walls was in Santa Cruz. I was in recovery from
some massive shamanic healing. Penniless, and living in a house that was
going to be renovated, I go a hold of some paints and filled the walls with
my hopes and visions. tf
When your inner-most child can't resist. je
EVERYDAY! rh
Usually at about 3am when I can't sleep and I suddenly get a great idea for a mural on my studio ceiling... or a cool idea for the kitchen floor, or the wall above the fireplace.... well, I think you get the idea. ab
when i'm in berlin. gm
Whenever you can get away with it. mg
I just scratch a mark each day with my fingernail, to keep track of how many days I've been inside. rs
When you are Byron and you are waiting for new paint and your Mum says yes and the Thunderbirds so completely captivate you that you must draw scene after scene so that your whole room is a movie in stills (at last! a big enough canvas! hr
When there’s
paper on them.
When we’re about to paint them. bb
I'm a good boy, I do all of my writing in my head. Easier to clean up that way. rp
Rightnow! rb
