What artist movement has been particularly influential in your development H: The artistic movement most influential to my work is that of the New York graffiti scene in the 80's. That classic lettering is a style that resonates in much of my graffiti.
How/ Why did you start writing Graffiti? H: I started writing graffiti because I loved the way it looked in the streets, on walls, signs, trucks, etc. I loved the idea of leaving an anonymous mark. Essentially, I started writing graffiti because I loved vandalism.
