Check out my interview with urban artist Casper Carr
http://www.radiowaves.co.uk/story/151006/title/JessyBusgeethinterviewsgraffitiartistCasperCarr For my interview I will be interviewing a guy called Casper Carr, a graffiti artist that works with youths. The reason I chose him is because I like the urban art background and graffiti is one of the main arts that I'm really into. Also because I found most of his work interesting specially the work he has done locally for youths.
I first researched him on the web but couldn't find much so Vicky showed me his Facebook site and he had a link to his website called The Breakout Kids so I checked it out and looked at the type of graffiti that he and his crew does with the community. I also looked at what types of work they have done and will be doing and the people involved with them.
I found out a lot more than I thought I would because Casper's knowledge on the history of graffiti was really good because he didn't just know about this or the last generations history he knew about the whole background of graffiti but he also explained it with passion in a way that I could understand what he was on about which was really nice. I also found out more because his business partner Lee came with him and I took the opportunity to do a little interview with him too. He informed me on the ‘rules’ of graffiti, kind of like the etiquette, and what it’s like for a graffiti artist to have their work sprayed over by other graffiti artists. The thing that really interested me the most was the fact that they both really thrived off their work and the passion he has for working with youths and his background of being a b-boy.
Overall I think my confidence has got better because the interview went really well I managed to ask some good questions and I think that he enjoyed it because I like his type of work. In future I will be more confident from this experience.
Here are my questions and prepared…
This is Jessy Busgeeth interviewing artist Casper Carr as part of the Site Young Apprentice Scheme…..
How would you describe yourself as an artist and what type of things do you do?
And how did you interest in urban street art all start?
You’ve set up an organisation called ‘break out kids’. Can you tell me what it’s all about and why you set it up?
What do you enjoy about being creative with young people and what do you think creativity can offer young minds?
As part of your teaching work, you explain the history of graffiti and street art. Why is this important do you think?
How do you think the perception of graffiti has changed over the years and what are your thoughts about it?
What are you most proud of that your creativity has led to?
What’s been the most challenging or interesting piece of work you’ve painted and why?
what styles of art do you like, or if it’s easier, which don’t you like?
In an ideal world, who would you like to commission you to do some work and where and what type of thing would it be?!
What advice do you have for young artists about doing something with their creativity?
Thanks for your time!
