So last night, halloween night, around midnight I stumbled, drunk and stoned, onto a skate park wioth bad light. I had been dropped off nearby and had a bag full of paint and hadn't painted in at least two months. The excitement was so sobering that I felt completely clean as I popped out my first chalk up. I felt above everything as I filled it with a purple top faded to an orange bottom and I felt perfect after I finished outlining and keylining it and applied the shines and highlights.

I stood back. It was a fucking dope purple and orange rubik piece on a half pipe that said "Happy halloween" next to it. I fell backwards and sat down, staring at it and smiling. I had a cigarette and stared at it the whole time, smiling. Happy halloween.

Problem is I didn't have a camera.

No problem, I'll simply go back there tomorrow (this morning) and get a flick of it.

....

I go back there today to discover that it's completely destroyed. The sun and maybe people skating on it have basically reduced it to a faded scribble. I nearly cried. I tried to touch it up but ran out of orange and a white van parked and people started walking towards me so I stood up and walked a long walk home.

Damn....

Well fuck it man. I bought two of every colour. I'm gonna go to a dayspot or Slim's garage with the same sketch for the same piece and REDO it. And I'm gonna do it BETTER than ever before. It's going to burn the shit out of the one I lost at the skatepark. I will do it. It will happen.

In light of this happening, here is a link for you to read
