Getting Up in The Name of Jesus: Love To Feel interviews John 14:6
What’s the difference between marketing for God and marketing for Nike?
The boundaries of street art, marketing, and religion might blur for you after reading this interview. When examining the origins of graffiti the earliest story that comes to mind is that of Daniel in the bible, a man who was the only one who could read God’s tagging on the wall when God announced the fall of King Belshazzar’s reign. What? You didn’t know that God was a tagger? Well now you do.
This inspired me to reach out to John 14:6 and get his thoughts street art, spirituality, and the Los Angeles scene. We also wanted to learn more about his motivations. One thing that surprised us was discovering that John 14:6 does not see himself as a street artist. He is not an art school drop out using religious linguistics to make a point in pop culture. Rather John 14:6 sees himself more like a marketer for God.
