Jean Michel Basquiat.SAMO is Alive

''In 1976, Jean-Michel Basquiat began "writing" his unique brand of graffiti throughout Manhattan under the name "SAMO." His work from the first consisted of conceptual, enigmatic combinations of words and symbols, executed with the curt simplicity of a late Roman inscription. Graduating from subway walls to canvas and from the streets of New York to the galleries of Soho, Basquiat took the art world by storm with his rampageous one man show at Annina Nosei's gallery, early in 1982. ''

He was amazing.I just heard about him couple weeks ago and I absolutely fell in Love with his paintings.When you see then for the first time you really think that is drawn in a obscure way and it's just graffiti,but it's not.You can really see him thinking because he has scratched words all over,He said that when he used to paint he didn't think about art,He thought about Life!! Then He and his friend used to be called 'SAMO' as in same old shit,they used to paint in walls and everything and if you see those painting they also have a meaning and it's not just graffiti,it's art.And when Basquiat and his friend [Diaz] ended their friendship The SAMO project ended with the epitaph "SAMO IS DEAD," inscribed on the walls of SoHo buildings in 1979.He was a true pioneer.Believe it or not,I can actually draw - Basquiat 

SAMO as an end to mindwash religion, nowhere politics and bogus philosophy
