When I was old enough to consider such things, I always thought of the Roadrunner as being the trickster, evading, thwarting, turning the Coyote's (i.e. society's) traps back upon him. His use of the #8 isn't so mysterious either. I had never heard of him before. Good video.

Had know idea the scope of his art. All I ever saw were walls and closed storefront gates. The cacti remind me of somewhere in between Yayoi Kasuma and Robert Mapplethorpe. Yes he’s quite the insider. But tbh, I think even the most outsider artists have a keen awareness of art around them. Or in history. Or maybe it just appears so. Maybe certain things about art, composition, color, are a universal language.
