SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio man is hoping to inspire others to stay creative in life through his graffiti art throughout the city. “My mom said I started drawing on the wall when I was three and I never stopped,” Soupe said. I also learned the process and procedures about art when my stepfather would take me to museums and give me books. “I was like, ‘I am going to paint it bigger and put it everywhere!’ That is what graffiti is. Soupe has also dealt with his own struggles like with depression but art helps him cope with that struggle.

“I was also playing my guitar more and more.”He said during that time, he realized the sound of a plastic guitar pick bothered him. “Anytime I wanted a different sound or a different timber, I used a different wood,” Oliver said. “You know every wood has a different sound,” Oliver said. “You can really create a whole different sound for yourself. “I am lucky to have come through that because many people don’t,” Oliver said.
