WHAT CREWS DO YOU REPRESENT? Glokers
WHAT MADE YOU START GRAFFITI? I needed to find a way to endanger myself whilst spending all my money and making people angry - graffiti seemed like the easiest way to achieve that.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? A cosmic blend of techno music, sleep deprivation and internet addiction.
WHAT IN YOUR MIND MAKES A GOOD PIECE? There are so many aspects that go into it but if i see something i like its usually because its something fresh and different in an unusual spot with colours that work. Obviously there's a certain level of skill that has to go into it, too.
HOW IMPORTANT IS SKETCHING TO YOU? Its important as far as working something out goes and developing a style, i enjoy going to a wall with an idea in my head and just seeing where it goes though, as apposed to just copying it from a piece of paper.
