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

“I’ve always been into art since I was a kid. I think street art happened because it was a natural progression of certain things combined in my upbringing. If I had a choice, I would be outside instead of in because I grew up in the woods. I also come from a home where antiquing and repurposing things was very common. So I think my initial introduction to “street art” was taking things off the street and reusing it or making it into a piece of art. In my early 20s, I was mainly an acrylic painter but it wasn’t covering the surface area or providing the visual impact I was looking for. So I began to go outside and paint on things there. After that it just continued to evolve.”

2. What do you base your artwork on?

“My artwork is based on all sorts of things in all sorts of mediums. I get bored easy so I tend to jump around. Sometimes there’s a point to my pieces, sometimes there’s not and I’m just experimenting. If going to the gym is a workout for your body, then making art for me is a workout for my brain.It’s something I must continuously exercise to maintain a certain level of balance for myself. So I guess I base my artwork off that.”

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

“I think NYC in itself is a work of art that’s constantly changing and growing. I feel like if I do my job right, then I’m just adding to something that’s already there and maybe making it a little better. Around here, you’re a very small fish in a very large, fast moving river. Being able to contribute at all I think is a feet within itself.”
