There's literally wild horses running along the beach and shit. There's a limited amount of people allowed on the island so it's pristine. Georgia has some amazing places so I've been trying to discover more. I grew up such a city kid, but I always loved nature. Lately I've been more into the natural world outside of Atlanta. What are other places you love in Atlanta, organizations you support? My go-to places are Elmyr, So Ba, Carroll Street Cafe, maybe some La Fonda here and there. Where are your favorite places to eat in the city? There are a lot people with deep roots here and they need to be respected while this city grows. I think it's going to be one of the biggest issues coming up for Atlanta. It's good for business, but I know a lot of people who are starting to get priced out of certain areas of town. New developments are going up all over the place and there's this huge influx of people to the city. How has Atlanta changed in the last five years?Įverything has just accelerated. There's tons of public art in the city's neighborhood like Downtown, Edgewood, Old Fourth Ward, Cabbagetown, Castleberry Hill, and West End. I would start by just going for a ride through the city. Atlanta has everything from the highest conceptual type galleries to the grimiest bando, piecing spots. What's the best way for a newbie to see the city's true soul and experience good art? Atlanta is blowing up on a lot of levels and the whole city can feel it, good or bad. I got to work with one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright, recently, so that was a pretty fucking dope. They have proper budgets and they give you a lot of freedom. The film industry has been a real boon to a lot of us local artists and creatives. I have a lot of freedom to work on my own stuff and commissions are frequent enough that I don't have to starve.

Atlanta is still expanding pretty quick, so there's always new restaurants, movies, TV shows, condos, etc.

What's your experience been like living as a full-time artist in Atlanta? I get some the best artists in town all collaborating publicly. It's really an act of appreciation for public art, both by the artists and the community. Almost all the paint is donated and the artists aren't paid much, if anything. The artists are given a lot of freedom as far as content goes and the whole thing is community-funded.

It's all ages, and totally free to the public. It's really fun and tons of people show up. Last year we had 35 artists all working together on a single huge wall in Cabbagetown. How do you think Forward Warrior helped advance that conversation?įorward Warrior is basically a large scale live painting event that I started in 2011. The trick is finding that place where artists and property owners feel free and unrestrained and communities still feel their voices are heard. It's a continuing conversation, which it should be.

On a few occasions, communities felt slighted or disrespected, and we all had to learn how to create and manage public art with respect to the communities where it's located. It was so quick and so much art was going up, I think that's why we saw some backlash. Lots of collaboration and freedom to take risks. I also got to meet a lot of amazing artists who came through to paint for events. I was just starting to do large scale public work, so the timing worked out really well for me. A lot of artists were inspired to come out and get involved in murals/street art and a lot of businesses wanted to get their walls painted. There has always been a fair amount of public art in Atlanta, but after the Living Walls conference in 2009, things just took off.
