{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
That's funny, cause we just asked him to --- [[Laughs]] Right?

[[Audience speaker]] [[inaudible]]
[00:19:38]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
[[laughs]]
Right...
[00:19:40]

{Audience speaker}
[[inaudible]]
[00:19:44]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Yeah,they do. I mean, but what's funny is, like, we were explaining this, too, earlier to someone, and they asked us how is it that you are able to live off graffiti.
[00:19:50]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
And the reason I think we have been able to live off graffiti is a lot of these companies are trying to market to younger audience, and
[00:19:58]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
graffiti is sort of perceived as a young audience's art. And now what's happening is, a lot of people who grew up watching graffiti are no longer kids.
[00:20:06]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}',
They're principals of schools, CEOs of company's; so these are the same people who are reaching out to us and hiring us and saying "Listen, I want you to do my entire school," "I want you to promote my next album,""I got some new designs for my clothing line,"
[00:20:18]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
and they grew up watching graffiti, and they see it as an art form. So, obviously they contact us because there are not too many graffiti companies. I mean, a lot of reasons that---
[00:20:27]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
We are probably one of the first of its kind. But one of the things that you have to keep in mind is that a lot of people that grew up watching this art form the way we did
[00:20:34]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
and the way they are growing up now in a lot of inner cities, is that they don't have a lot of art programs that are available to them.
[00:20:42]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
They don't have -- A lot of them don't have parents who are taking them to, like the MOMA, and to different galleries.\
[00:20:49]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And you know, they are not aware of Goya's, and Monet's, and you know Picassos, and stuff like that.
[00:20:57]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
So to a lot of these kids, their Goya's and their Monet's are painted on the outside of these grocery stores, and the outside of these handball courts.
[00:21:05]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And you know they're the graffiti in their community. That's what brings color and art and culture to their life.
[00:21:10]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
So the same way we grew up in watching that as part of, you know, "Wow, this is what's color, and this is what's beautiful to me," is what a lot of these urban kids are going through now.
[00:21:22]

{Audience speaker}
What type of promotional work do you do?
[00:21:26]

{Speaker 2}
Yeah, we do a lot of promotional stuff. We've done national campaigns with Coca-Cola; we do a lot of promotional campaigns with clothing companies.
[00:21:34]

[[Background voices]]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Well, um, we have locations with no walls out in the community. We have maybe forty to fifty locations --
