Views from the SIX
After pledging to never talk to a magazine ever again, the 2015 coming out party for Drake continues. W Magazine is doing things a little bit different, making Drizzy the subject of their ART issue. They actually commissioned folks like KAWS, JIM JOE, Katherine Berhhardt and Mark Flood to paint pictures of Aubrey, all of which came out with a different feel.
The magazine also talked to him about how art has influenced, the city that he loves and why he has “signed up for greatness.”
You still live in Toronto. Most people leave…
Really? Most people I know stay in Toronto. I plan to spend the rest of my life there. The talk, the smell, the sound that comes out of that city is home to me. When I think about the girls I want to get romantic with, it’s a girl from Toronto who knows what I’m talking about when we drive around the city.
Water is an antidote to the pressures of your life.
Actually, I love pressure! I’m always thinking, How do I top what I’ve done? How do I make this thing stronger? I ask myself, “Why does Adele’s album go diamond, and how do I do that? How do I create art that makes minds stretch further?” I want to give many, many people many, many moments before I’m gone. That’s truly the art of what I do. It’s the only goal.
You can read the full story over at W Magazine and look at the gallery with all the art pieces as well.
