1. What inspired you to get into street-art/graffiti?

“I choose to paint for a lot of reasons. I think graffiti serves as a critique, gives a voice to the voiceless, is a vehicle for style and personal expression, offers a community, a tradition and a culture, but mostly it’s fun.”

2. What do you base your artwork on?

“Inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes my work is pretty, while other work focuses on a more simple communication of a message. I don’t like to paint in one particular style or mood. The anonymity granted by graffiti allows me to jump from idea to idea and get inspiration from wherever it comes from.”

3. How do you feel your artwork has contributed to the beauty of NYC? 

“Nyc has a long history of graffiti and more many years it led the way in terms of innovation, technique and city saturation. These days, partly due to strict punishments if caught and no legal place for artists to practice, I feel it’s fallen behind a bit. Although I live in NY with my wife, I feel it’s outside the city and often the country where I try and focus most of my work. That said, I still do occasionally paint locally and like any other place I think public art is open to Interpretation, I paint because I like to paint, whether or not my work contributes to the beauty of the city is open for discussion.”
