New Graffiti Machine Podcast episode is up 👊
Links in @bus166 bio.
I did an interview with a guy named Marcus Anderson some years back and he said something that stuck with me:
“There’s only one level of commitment. Total.”
That’s a pretty powerful way of looking at things. We can only commit to so many things. It’s easy to catch myself wanting to be an expert in a lot of areas, but it isn’t possible to fully commit to everything. Some people spend their whole lives being a musician, an artist, an entrepreneur. You can get pretty good at a lot of things, but most likely not world-class at all of them.
If you want to be world-class at something, it probably takes a level of commitment that’s far greater than we think.
It’s worth asking: what’s the one thing you’re willing to go total on?

Man I just found out that SE One passed. I don’t think enough people realize the impact he had on LA graff styles in the mid 90s. He definitely had a big impact on me. Things I learned from him during our crack of dawn paint sessions still play a role on how I paint today.
Another camera malfunction double exposure. The Phable and Gank were hang over spots over the Motor Yard tunnel. I’m not entirely sure where the Saber piece was, but I assume it was also at Motor. I would have shot these around 1995.

I usually schedule today’s email/blog post on Monday. Just now, I realized I forgot to do it yesterday. While it’s not a huge deal to forget, I know it’s a symptom of a larger issue. Lately I’ve found myself slipping in some areas.
Often forget to write my power list tasks in the morning. Then I got through the day chipping away and what I feel like I need to do with no structure. When the little things that keep you on track, they can start to spread. Tasks that were once automatic get missed.
I can’t remember what book it was in, but there was an acronym for WIN. What’s Important Now. For me, it’s the power list every day. It keeps things moving. If I slack on it, things start to slip.
What keeps you on track?
