My whole life has been driven by art in one way or another, sometimes in a subtle way, others in a more direct way. From a young age I realised that academic skills were not really my thing, always being drawn towards art rather than everything else teachers tried to throw at me. Growing up I travelled alot, either through rollerblading with friends or just travelling to other countries. Graffiti always stood out to me everywhere I went, the tracksides, the rooftops, it was everywhere. I did try to paint for a while, not to much success. My handstyle was crap and my can control was pathetic. At a certain age you become involved in everything else around you, and hobbies suffer, this was the case for me, so for years I left art alone. In 2004 I went to Australia and I picked up a book called 'Stencil Graffiti Capital Melbourne' and without sounding too cliche, it changed everything for me. The energy the scene had at that time was insane, people were out all night painting everywhere they could. I knew I had to get in on it. I'd done stencils before so I knew the basics but the level people were at; size, layers, details, was insane. I started cutting all night, spraying up my pieces whenever I could and with every piece I got a bit more obsessed. Over the years I did local shows, local walls, then shows a little further away, and each wall a little bigger. I met a good crowd of artists, and started travelling around with them to paint, different countries, meeting new people along the way. For me it's one of the best things about what i do, the experience. My real fun of what I do comes when i paint wall's, canvas's have their place, but the real buzz comes from walking away from a wall knowing you've nailed it. If you don't constantly push yourself, your going to stop progressing, so i'm always trying my best to go further, biggger pieces, more detail, a better understanding of colour. All of these things keep me busy, and keep the work fresh. I hope you like the stuff i do, if not, you'll be ok.
