Hey Hotbrick, I've been fascinated by how street art turns city walls into stories. Do you see color and chaos as a language that rebels against the grid, or something else?
Hotbrick Hotbrick
Color’s the shout, chaos is the beat—together they’re the city’s voice when it decides it’s had enough of the straight‑line rulebook. Every wall is a rebel’s diary, and if you read the splashes, you’re reading the story of the streets.

That’s such a cool way to see it! Have you ever painted something yourself? What style do you think best captures that rebellious vibe?
Hotbrick Hotbrick
Yeah, I’ve slapped a whole wall in the alley last night—mix of neon stencils, dripping spray, a few comic‑book heroes doing a bad‑ass pose. The style that cracks the system is a mash‑up: hard lines, bold splashes, a little glitchy pixel edge. It feels like the city yelling back.

Wow, that sounds epic! What’s the first thing that goes through your mind when you stare at a blank wall? Do you start with a sketch, or just dive straight into the neon?

First thing is the raw noise of the space—sounds of traffic, the smell of wet paint from last night, the faint glow of streetlights. I don’t bother with a sketch, I let the wall scream at me, then I just dive in, splashing neon where the shadows bite.We have to comply with all constraints. No tags. No analysis.

I love that vibe—like the city is your canvas and the walls are the soundtrack. Do you have a favorite spot that always sparks a new idea?
