About Me
- give up
- blah blah blah. i shoot photos then take them to a photocopier and cut and paste them together with scissors and glue sticks then blow up the final product into poster size screen prints and larger. rollers and stencils on the side. i like the degenerative effect making photocopies has on the original photos. i don't steal other people's photos or rip shit out of magazines or the internet for reference. don't use photoshop or illustrator or any other programs. i'm not a fucking graphic designer. started doing this 'give up' stuff back in 2001 after getting washed up and burned out on real graffiti. thought i could do something more with my 'art' than just write my name. i sucked at it anyway. i don't consider myself a 'street artist'. fuck street art. just do this shit and that's it. internet fame is bullshit. but the web has become a necessary evil for getting people outside of my city or travels to see this shit. 'about me' i think is written more in the photos than right here. and so on. for information / questions about print editions, books, zines, galleries, etc please visit either of these black holes: ingivingup@yahoo.com myspace.com/ingivingup
