Came across this video yesterday over at Acclaim, featuring none other than Australian graffiti, fine artist and tattoo artist, Steve Cross.

This video is something a little different, in which film maker Johnny Brixton captures Steve at a pretty philosophical moment whilst painting up one of his beautiful pieces.

“Last time I caught up with Steve,” Brixton explains, “We had a long talk about creating with purpose, instead of producing creations to prove how talented we are. I think this theory allows me to enjoy more art without having judgemental preconceptions. To many, Steves work may seem incredible aesthetically, but I believe this film captures the energy and spirituality behind each of his creations. As always I’m humbled to be present.”

It’s really great stuff, and a really candid glimpse into the artists thoughts.
