Detroit

every time i come back to detroit, i am inspired, crushed and motivated. the history [art, music, architecture, people], the pride, the devastation, the work people are doing here [and have been for decades] and the hope get me every time. having lived a good chunk of my life in the surrounding suburbs [southfield and royal oak] and having been drawn to detroit [hip hop, graffiti] as a teenager, i recognize an ever present sense of adventure, curiosity, sadness and excitement that is ignited, just as it was when i was 17, in my now adult and not-that-old 30+ something self.

anyways, here is an article from Juxtapoz that features artists doing some crazy isssh in detroit.
