I am an urban artist My City is an architectural wonder, where street art weaves its own path, as I walk I stop sometimes  take photographs make drawings walking thru a forest of human made marks tags graffiti and street artas it  reveals to me its hidden language.

Mixing up my tags & others tags is a skill of decision making to avoid confusion in image making is my challenge and work done by so many artists. I honor this all in my artwork style which  translates into Urban Calligraphy.

"Glen Paul Mendes ( The Urban Shaman ) When Glen walks the inner city and natural Landscapes it is as a form of ritual research,

Glen retranslates into sketches and photographs the lines he finds on walls, roads, and tunnels  a "hidden dialogue"

a palimpsest is revealed time place. space...His "walk" is an act of deep listening and observation. His abstract paintings, often made on-site, are direct translations of the urbangy, serving as anthropological discourse."
