For Wane spray cans have become a medium, but the culture of graffiti is a big movement, and the reason why he still goes out and does it the so called “illegal” way is because it keeps him grounded. It also keeps him knowing of what’s happening in the culture of graff. In the real world of how graffiti writers live the moment. “If you don’t go out and do it illegally, you’re clueless to what’s really going on. You are just a commercial artist using spray cans,” he quoted to the Creative Independent a couple of months ago.
