“I love mural painting. When you paint on the street, you never know.
You never know if you’re gonna be in Asia and there’s gonna be a bunch of kids crawling over you or someone who lives on the street who's been talking to you for a week ends up having his last meal with you - that you buy him and then he dies - in front of you - while you’re finishing the mural.
When you’re painting on the street, your life is always affected by what’s going on around you, and what is going around you is always affected by you painting whatever you're painting on the street, and it’s this really interesting relationship that I feel like I can never fully grasp but I’m always so excited about.
Definitely I’m looking for the white whale. I want - like - huge walls, as big as I can get. I love when I can step back and start to see it being realized and I think it would be awesome to do something that was so big that it just sort of blew me out of the water, too.
I know that I’m gonna have to work much harder for those big walls, but I’m gonna get them either way so…” -- Bunnie R., #LivesofWomen
