  • OPTIMIST is leaving San Francisco after a life largely spent in the Bay Area. As one of the early Americans to relocate to Asia, OPTIMIST lived in Taiwan bombing the city for 3 years during a time period when the country had no scene & the public was unaware of graffiti. Eventually he moved back to the Bay and has been there since. His life has been mired with a sense of instability due to involvement with graffiti. His upcoming art show “Travelin' Man” will be showing at RVCA SF on September 1st. 2023.

    It’s ironic that he writes optimist after hearing this, but he’s absolutely right about everything he said in this interview. That’s not being pessimistic it’s calling it for what it is. That’s why the other half of the new generation is so jaded.

      Yeah it used to be THE CITY. I’m soooo glad to have experienced it pre 9/11.

    Listened to this and felt pretty bleak and bummed out, then listened to the Trav MSK right after and was reminded life is all about your perception. Definitely recommend that for a pallet cleanser

    Congrats to you guys. You’re getting a lot of interesting people on your show. Just saw King Baby down in Raleigh and saw Optimist in Dublin not too long ago.

    It's sad. I love the city. But I've been seeing and feeling the same way for a while as well.
    SF will always have so much to offer, if you get a chance to visit it go. Go to Coit Tower, go to the Haight, the park. But the vibes on a more local level are exactly how Optomist says. A lot of people are moving to Oakland. Maybe there's a change for a great art scene sprouting there. Oakland has a lot to offer as well. It's not all some giant ghetto like the bad wrap it gets. But the City was something special and now it's rich techies and lost souls, in general. Idk where that next cultural mecca will be. Are people still going to Portland and Seattle all them time

    bro needs to come to berlin. i feel like here graffiti still is developed in ways not seen before. very strong style writing scene but also lots of people that shit on tradition and rules.

    Unfortunate to hear someone bagging on sf graff so hard, especially someone that never put in work. Dude should leave and take his one letter throw with him.

    The vid is great. Plus I feel his views about the city dying.. The death of culture due to yuppies flooding the city, and people letting technology rule their lives.

    I kinda get what ur saying about writers coming to cities but pull further back on the time line and you see that nyc had artists long before graffiti. SF had an beat poets and artists before graffiti.

      When Angel asked why his life style isn’t sustainable currently he didn’t want to answer. Sounds like he may need to meet a friend of Bill W. If Tim needs help please reach out. I’m always available for a fellow writer who can’t stop the madness, I also had a sustainability issue for over 25 years. Suffered so much longer than I ever needed to but I had to learn what I needed to learn in order to destroy my ego and ultimately survive through a life I never thought possible. Still bomb, still wreck shop. Nothing is more expensive than regret.
