His styles have evolved and each new direction he takes justifies why he is one of the best graffiti artists the UK has to offer.

Our independence is actually very important to us because it has allowed us to really explore our character and do things differently all along. Basically we are in four locations around the world, born in England about 15 years ago and we’re now also in New York, Manchester and Shanghai. I think we stretch around 20 business hours a day now, as and when needed.
