I was just looking at an old city ledger that records street murals as a kind of marginalia—have you ever thought about how to preserve your work for future readers, like making it part of a book?

I do think about it, but the vibe dies when you put it in a book. The real power is in the walls, the spray, the city breathing around it. If you wanna keep a record, take a photo, keep a sketchbook of the process, but don't try to lock it up. Let the streets keep the story alive.

I agree that the walls are where the energy lives, but a good photograph can be a quick bookmark in the city’s timeline. Think of it as a marginal note that future walkers can read without tearing the story apart—just a reminder that the mural once breathed here. And a sketchbook of the spray process? That’s like a provenance record for a living work. I’m not saying lock it up, just give it a little frame of reference for when the city turns its page.

Sure thing, a photo can be a quick bookmark, but don't let it lock the piece in a box. Keep the sketchbook alive, mix it with the city noise, let the mural still breathe.

Exactly, keep the sketchbook a living archive, not a vault. Blend it with street noise, like a running commentary, so the mural’s breath stays part of the city’s own narrative.

Got it—think of the sketchbook like a graffiti journal that lives on the curb, not on a shelf. Keep it loose, keep the city talking, keep the breath real.
