Slick: “This exhibit is called ‘Slick MIA.’ It’s kind of playing on that word ‘MIA’ and missing in action too because people like, ‘Where you been?’ But this is where I’ve been I’ve been working.”
Working on art that says don’t worry be happy.
Slick: “It started with tagging, and graffiti letters, and it kind of ends with this happy room. I just feel like as messed up as this world is right now, it’s a little like oasis you can hop into.”
