“There’s never one style to my work, which sets me apart from many of my contemporaries and from the street artists working today. My work can be very different from one day to the other and it’s always been that way.

To this day people remember my trains, handball courts, and early paintings, and say that the works opened up their frame of mind. Back then, I wanted to explore outside the confines of letter smithing and so that made me break away from painting my name over and over again. In my studio, I was experimenting with the medium of spray paint on canvas, while still burning the midnight oil in the train yards. Eventually, I felt the pull of the art studio calling me, as I gradually lost the drive to paint trains. I loved the freedom of the studio, being able to take my time with my work and really push the edge with spray paint and other materials and my ideas.

The studio affords me the luxury of time to work through the concepts in detail, to walk away from it, and come back to it. You can see the level of detail and madness in my more recent paintings and murals, which is a result of that luxury. I also am able to listen to music, which I never would have risked doing in the subway yards.”
