10 Wishes for 2010, #6, Hellbent
For ten days we’re presenting ten artists and their wishes for the new year, 2010, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are part of the giant explosion of street art in New York. Individually, each has added their expression of the creative spirit to the decade now ending.
Today’s wish comes from Hellbent, a street artist whose Freud’s jaw, half skull, and writhing fire snake are frequently laying on a bed of lace.
“I wish my father would find a job. I wish that this economy/country turns around and all the people who are out of work can get back to work, so they can continue to do things that don’t define them by a “job.”
