Horus, orginally known as Wymp - (What'sYourMasterPlan?). I began writing Horus in 2002 and have carried various names for brief periods, but am settled on Horus for now at least. While I am driven in part by the fame machine that is graffiti I have always been a sincere appreciator of graffiti as a mechanical art. Always studying letterforms and technical skills I am constantly reading the streets for whos up and what's new. I've had some beefs and made lots of friends, seen writers come and go, but am just me doing my thing – “the proof is in the paint” has always been my motto. Having written graffiti for about 10 years, I am a founding member of Style in Progress, Base Gallery, and rebelle. While I still find graffiti to be my main love I also work on canvas and do freelance graphic design for urban related projects. My intention as an artist is to constantly explore and develop my typographical skills and produce primarily wildstyle letterforms. Painting mainly walls and legal productions While I have contributed to the bombing scene and freight scene I prefer to concentrate on walls and seek quality over quantity in my murals. “ A passage from the Coffin Texts (passage 148) sums up Horus in his own words: "I am Horus, the great Falcon upon the ramparts of the house of him of the hidden name. My flight has reached the horizon. I have passed by the gods of Nut. I have gone further than the gods of old. Even the most ancient bird could not equal my very first flight. I have removed my place beyond the powers of Set, the foe of my father Osiris. No other god could do what I have done. I have brought the ways of eternity to the twilight of the morning. I am unique in my flight. My wrath will be turned against the enemy of my father Osiris and I will put him beneath my feet in my name of 'Red Cloak'." "Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt" by R.T. Rundle Clark, p. 216 |
