They’re the toughest audience.  (Barry McGee Quotes) I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. Its the most radical thing  (Barry McGee Quotes) Some people are enraged, and some people are applauding. If there were a mission statement for graffiti, that would be it  (Barry McGee Quotes)
