SAMO BASQUIAT

SAME OLD SHIT

live hard. die young.


''I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.''

''Believe it or not, I can actually draw.''

''I thought I was going to be a bum the rest of my life.''

''If I had some money, I made the best paintings ever. I was completely reclusive, worked a lot, took a lot of drugs. I was awful to people.''

Jean-Michel Basquiat (New York City, 22 december 1960 – 12 augustus 1988)
