Now THEY always say “congratulations”
I might be too strung out on compliments
overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a f**k and stopped fearing the consequences We coming from a long bloodline of trauma THEY don’t wanna see us on the TV unless it’s the news THEY don’t wanna see us on TV unless it’s: Drug involvement Gun involvement The Water Crisis Poverty Education …. Ones who need me them the same one who doubted me What did I do to deserve that? But I wake up and act like nothin’ wrong Fool me one time, Shame on YOU Fool me twice, can’t put the blame on YOU Fool me three times, F**k the peace sign
That’s what I get for having expectations
But even when the sky comes falling
Still
we
rise
as
one
That’s
What
Makes
Us

Kevin Burdick “Scraps”
Born 1985 in Flint Mi., then raised in Fenton Mi. I First attended Mott Community College, where I studied basic art. At this point I realized that Art would be my profession. I was later accepted to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where I studied Animation and Illustration. After school I started experimenting with different mediums, including Airbrushing and Aerosol. Airbrushing was my initial focus where I had airbrushed over hundreds of different types of vehicles. My primary focus has taken a turn in the last 5 year on aerosol murals on a larger scale. Although airbrushing made up the foundation of my art career, aerosol art is becoming the creative outlet and freedom every artist seeks. After many years of perfecting my talent, I know that I can provide high quality artwork to a wide range of clients and programs all over the world. |
