When did you start painting and how did you get into it?

I started painting in 2007. I was mostly tagging and doing quick stuff for a couple of years. When I discovered that people were doing detailed characters and backgrounds i was immediately drawn to that style. Since then I have focused on characters instead of letters.

Describe your style

I mostly make detailed characters and backgrounds inspired by video games.
I guess you could describe my style as realistic in some ways (no outline, and I play a lot with different light).

What are your inspirations?

Mostly games and movies

What does graffiti/street art mean to you?

I spend a lot of time drawing on the computer, so graffiti is an awesome way to get out and do some big scale stuff!

What do you think about Meeting of Styles and painting jams in general?

Fantastic way of keeping the painting community together. Great opportunity to meet new people in the community

Does your personal situation affect your way of painting?

I’m very inspired by my work in video games, in terms of style and subject.
