Asher, Graffiti Artist, Skid Row, Los Angeles, 2024
Asher: ‘I’ve lived on Skid Row, slept on the floor, and it was a really tough life, you know, not only dealing with drug dealers and prostitutes and the police, but I could never rest. In Skid Row, it’s so much negative energy: police sirens, helicopters, shootings, dogs attacking people, car crashes. Even when you’re sleeping, you’re not sleeping because you’re being bombarded by all this noise and negativity and it just affects you so much that after seven years I was completely done.’ You can watch an interview with Asher here
