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

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.
