it's not a game not a hobby, it's Street Art
Yesterday, just up and still a bit sleepy I've watched a video… I'm still shocked. A young guy dies doing graffiti; he's not the first and he won't be the last: THIS is shocking.
Why? Why take a risk like that "just to paint on a wall"?
But even without to be so extreme, why spend a lot of money in cans and trips, why take the risk of being catch by the police?
Obviously it's not just for fun…it's not a hobby, not a game at all.
Many questions bouncing inside my head, then one of them became THE question: Why am I doing Street Art? Why am I spending hours and hours cutting stencils and training with cans, pastels, colours?
Honestly I've never thought about this before, but right now this is my future, my life… I deserve to find an answer.
I'm not doing this for money nor to become famous.
So, what's moving me? What is pushing me? I just feel something is burning inside me, it's like a fire I cannot extinguish.
I don't know, but I MUST find an answer…. I MUST

I'm writing this just for myself, really
Right now I just feel I have to write and so I do. I'm writing this for myself and to myself, I don't mean to write for someone else now, but maybe some of you out there are feeling the same sensations I am feeling, so that's why I'm writing publicly, because where are not alone....
Lately I'm thinking about my life and art... what's the relationship between them? What I rationally think is that art is what I want to do in my life... but is that the reality? is it what I really want to do?
Because if so, why am I so stuck?... feeling depress because I cannot produce something I really like, something I really want to.
I know the way to be
Renton in 2011
Has been long time since I've posted my last entry, so I thought it was time to write something because sometimes I really need to stop and write...think. It's like to freeze my life for few minutes and think about what I did since now and what's next... yes: WHAT'S NEXT!?!? Another year ahead and I should think about the future, isn't?!?
bha... the truth is in my future I see my girlfriend and my Art, that's all. The reality is that I really care only about them, but I MUST think about a job, since right now I'm unemployed and I've no money to pay my rent and the taxes... but if I decide to find a boring full time job I can say goodbye to m
A little Biography
Renton (Mark) borns in Milan in the 80s, but he considers his birth 12 years later, when he clashes against a reality that changes his life: the HipHop culture. After a period as graffiti artist, Renton starts to dance breakdance, a passion he will carry on for years until something stronger catches his attention: music and poetry. Since that moment Renton spends (almost) all his time writing poetries and making rap with his band, the GiorniMigliori (Better Days), with which he records a disc and sings in many live events. Everything seems to be perfect, but the Destiny has other plans for him: the band split and after a while he decides to f

The Bible says that we are inspired by the Holy spirit to excel in all areas of craft, Job and calling. THere are deep things in the heart of God that he has given you the skill and perspective to express to the World. He designed you with a purpose and calling to bless the world, to bring about Justice and love. Art is one of his gifts that he has given us as a tool to proclaim the truth. IF you are foggy on what the truth is then dig deep into the Bible, his word, his instruction manual, his love letter and discover what waiting in there to set you free.
