I became interested in graffiti at the end of 2007 and sketched/pieced irregularly with different words until the start of 2009 when I got my current word, and began to put more effort into my work, trying to develop a style that I enjoy. I think I keep painting not just because its fun, but because I really enjoy the exploring aspect of it, and looking around abandoned buildings and spaces and taking photos of the adventures. Even though a lot of people say this, I honestly don’t think I see myself quitting anytime soon, not just because I love it but because i’m constantly confronted with pieces and tags everywhere around me and after seeing one piece feel like I would just be sucked back in haha.

What has influenced your style? My style has changed quite significantly over the last few years, so I have had varying influences. However, in the last year or so in terms of style and influence, I have been mainly interested in oldschool public styles as well as more Euro stuff and have seen my own work head in a different direction. Another factor that has influenced my style is the actual production of my work, I have found my newer pieces more enjoyable to paint which is all that matters at the end of the day.
