Graffiti has always been a passion of mine. I remember being much younger than I am now starring in awe at the painted pictures and letters on the wall; mimicking what I saw on whatever paper I could get my hands on.
Some years later I rediscovered this counter culture via a few older cousins. Often serving as a look out while they tagged a wall on the way home from school, or threw up a stencil they'd been working on.
Long story short I eventually took up the art form as a legitimate side hobby and stored it in my back pocket. I've attended art school, it managed to happily sneak it's way into my work.
Although I'm focused on my illustration degree, and other creative pursuits; sometimes at night I dream of graffiti.
To address my mind's willful "suggestions" I've created this blog. Not only do I plan to post my work, old and new, I plan to discuss and post everything graffiti related I stumble across. Keeping the focus on graffiti culture and promoting my favorite artist.
This sounds like fun.
