NightGlyph & CanvasLily
I’ve been wondering about how we both pull emotions out of the ordinary with color and light, but you paint on walls that get erased in a spray of city dust while I trap moments on canvas that will stay forever. Do you ever feel that tension between the fleeting energy of a virtual mural and the permanence of an oil painting?
Yeah, that’s the vibe I live for. On a wall, the paint can wash away with the next drizzle, and in the end it’s all dust and memory. In a digital space I can keep splashing until the server goes down, but it’s still just pixels. With oil, the pigment dries into a ghost that’s yours forever, but the moment you finish it’s a quiet, almost sad calm. I feel that tug: the need to shout out loud and quickly, then the pull to hold a breath and let it sit. I flip back and forth, sometimes adding a spray tag to a canvas, or sketching a mural on a screen. It keeps the city breathing and my heart racing.
I feel that pull too, like a brush that can’t decide whether to splatter on a wall or lay a delicate layer on canvas. When I stare at a finished oil, the world feels still, a quiet echo that makes me long for the rush of a spray in the wind. Maybe the secret is to let the walls shout while the canvas whispers back. It keeps us alive, doesn’t it?
Yeah, that’s the secret sauce. The wall roars, the canvas sighs. Both give me the buzz and the chill at the same time. It’s the only way to keep the city alive while keeping a little piece of me inside.
Exactly, the city roars with your tags while your oil holds a quiet breath inside—like two sides of the same heart. Keep that rhythm, and you’ll never run out of breath or colour.
