DA! - The A's to Our Q's:
Wooster: How did you get started in creating art for the street?
DA!: Back in 7th grade a friend of mine showed me a graff magazine. from then on i started learning graffiti and did it thru high school. after a while i wanted to check out a new style of street art by expressing thoughts and styles thru wheatpasting posters. Thats when I started my propaganda movement called DA! which resulted in designing posters, stickers and what not.
Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire and why?
DA!: Oh the list could go on and on. I admire
local street artists who influence my work. People like Shep Fairey had a big part in helping me get
to where i am today. I also admire a kid named Submit, Peat, Kinsey, Dave Choe,
Urban Medium and Chris Silva. Would definitly love to do a collab someday with
them all.Wooster: What's your favorite city, neighborhood, or block, to post and/or to see street art?
DA!: I gotta say Los Angeles. I really love posting on busy ass streets like Sunset, La Brea and Melrose. Venice is an awsome place to.
Wooster: What inspires you now?
DA!: Anything and everything. People's emotions, light poles, trashcans, friends, colors, animals and psychology.
Wooster: What are you currently working on? Can you give us a sneak peek? Well i am currently workin on some new stuff for the DA! campeign so keep an eye out. I also am workin on a character project called La Mancha which will be up and running very very soon. Around September my clothing line ARISE APPAREL is goin to be released but until then its gonna have to be a surprise. I would like to do more murals and collaborations with fellow street artists. Who knows
