Jana @ Denver Graffiti Tour
On Wednesday night I received a text from Kathleen inviting me to join her and some friends for a Denver Graffiti Tour on Saturday. I told her it sounded great!
Saturday: Running late, bombing down the icy streets with no breakfast, no coffee, no meditation, no gratitude practice, and a choppy night's sleep. Not the ideal way to begin the day.
Little did I know I was in for a major attitude adjustment.
Our tour guide Jana was outstanding! An East Coast fast-talker and writer, she is passionate about her side gig. She taught us so much about street art and graffiti: the etiquette, politics, changes in perception, issues around diversity and inclusion, and so many stories behind the works.
The works.
Breathtaking. Vibrant. Heartbreaking. Inspiring.
I felt like my soul soaked up all the beauty, then whispered, "This is what you need in your life. Creativity is where you belong." Made me want to run right home and break out the paint.
Now, I took about eleventy-million pictures, but there is an ethics question around publishing photographs of someone's art. Here are some artists' links. Check 'em out.
And for heaven's sake, go on a Denver Graffiti Tour yourself! You'll love it.
