Graffiti/street art/lifestyle/community portal Fatcap.com recently did an interview with AM on our residency in Paris. They included photos from my Paris series and some of my videos. I love the way my photo looks on their homepage so wanted to capture it for my memories:

Fatcap interview with AM and DCAP

Excerpt from AM's interiew: Are there any current projects you are working on, and what should we look for next from you? Well Paris is the first stop for this film, we are planning on going to Argentinaand South Africa. I am also working on a new series of cityscapes inspired by my travels when I return to NY. I have a solo show coming up in Philly this winter and I will be painting at Art Basel in Miami. YOUNITY also has another exhibition coming up next fall.
I like that my photo on their homepage is an example of the diverse talents that people with a graffiti/street art background often have. When I wasn't documenting AM wheatpasting, catching tags, or doing pieces, there were plenty of moments like these where she was in her studio immersed in printmaking or other mediums. No "street artist" is the same. Some show their work in galleries, others keep it on trains and tunnels. Many graffiti writers these days have art degrees, while others barely finished High School. Some stencil and tag but still decline the "writer" or "street artist" label. Despite each unique circumstance, the love for art and a desire to express themselves is what ultimately ties street artists together. I can't wait to document more female graffiti artists like AM in my remaining days in NYC and when I am in CA for three months.
