Passing through the Sudden Subway on the way to school was what began my
fascination with aerosol art, I was massively inspired by artists such as
Clear, Nibs and Shunk who would paint down there regularly. At an early age I
began sketching work I had seen in books or photographs I had taken of local street
art. This then went on until I began to develop my own style. I first picked up
a can of spray paint in around 2003 I would make stencils and use them
to spray onto my skateboard, however I was always more interested in Free-hand
graffiti. I began trying that in around 2004/ early 2005 in the subway
which sadly got knocked down soon after due too some lame council plans to
change the round about into traffic lights because they thought it would
decrease congestion. Anyway it didn’t stop me from painting and my work
pretty much developed from there. Its just a little sad to think how many other
youngsters would have been influenced to go out and express themselves by
painting walls like I was if the subway was still there. O well shit happens; especially
when you live in Rochdale.

I am currently in
my final year of a degree in visual communication at Leeds collage of art. I
enjoy working in a variety of mediums, such as photography, model
making/sculpture, video and animation.
