For twelve days we’re presenting twelve wishes for 2012 as told by an alternating roster of artists and BSA readers, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are part of the street art scene around the world today. Individually, each adds their personal expression of hope for tomorrow.
Today’s wish comes from a BSA reader named Zia, our 4th Place Winner in the 2011 BSA Holiday Giveaway. Along with an original piece of art, Zia sends this wish;
“I wish my 80-yr old grandma would continue to party in good health, and my 60-yr old parents would drive safely after dark. I wish there would be no more cancers in the family. I wish my friends would find jobs, preferably dream jobs. I wish the HIV vaccine would finally work in humans, not just chimps. I wish I would have a year filled with inspirations and travels to lands I’ve always wanted to visit.”
