  6. banksy! i would love nothing more in the entire world than to eat cookies with you and share maybe 10 minutes of conversation. we could talk about puppies if you want. i don’t care. i’ll make espresso chocolate chunk with milk glaze.

  10. I like him. He’s not a god, just a good human with great creative ideas. He inspires me to pursue that which I am passionate about. For that I applaud him. If you look at his stuff and think “Meh.”, then move along and find what does salt your biscuit.
