The idea for this painting was given to me in a dream about Dino De Laurentiis. Dino De Laurentiis had just passed away and we were going to attend his funeral, everyone was asked to wear red, his favorite color. In the dream, Dino told me to stick with what I know, to stick with my Urban roots. The symbol for water was being spray painted in the air as if the viewer was the wall. The symbol was bright red. I began working on a sketch to capture the essence of the dream. Star Map Kid and Red Cat are tagging the air with spray cans labeled Möbius Paint Loop, a lone bug walks by in the background. For me, the bug symbolizes the ultimate survivor, I believe bugs will outlast humanity.
