Tagging Your Mind ~ Chaz Bojorquez

ART STATEMENT:
With exploding eyes and a grimacing smile, my skull was designed to engage the viewer and to burn my tag in their mind. No longer having the need to tag the streets, doesn’t mean I have stopped tagging. Instead, I now want to leave a lasting impression, an image that you will never forget. The halo is a representation of the West Coast Angels, graffiti writers of Los Angeles, and a symbol of protection that spells out the original name of the city: "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles del Rio de Porciuncula"

This piece is part of the upcoming Crewest Gallery show "No Biters Allowed"
