Wooster: What or who do you love?:

Wooster: How did you get started in creating art for the street?
When, together with Chaz, a good friend of mine from The London Police, I decided to travel and mess around the world. Basically I started in an easy and funny way and it became a way of living and communicate.
Wooster: How did you come up with your faces? Where do they originate from?
No idea... I think that is a personal graphic way to express myself my mood and my different feelings... sometimes my faces are sad sometimes happy.... They may tell you something or just be a mirror of my filthy stoned attitude...
Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire and why?
The London Police, D- face, Bo130, Microbo, Mysterious Al, Spair, Reser of the Top of Torino crew and all the geezers that work with passions and big nuts mixed together
Wooster: What's your favourite city, neighbourhood, or block to post street art in?
I like "to go out" in Amsterdam but in this period Berlin and Barcelona look more fresh and colourful... every day there is always something new and cool up...it's exiting!!
Wooster: What inspires you now?
The world sickness and the crazy way people acts.... I like to travel around and in every different city I feel inspired from every sign or trace that I see around me
Wooster: What are you currently working on? Can you give us a sneak peek?
Actually... I'm trying to chill out after an amazing summer around in Europe and Japan but I'm working on a project in Milan and one in Barcelona... I would like to go to support D-face and Mysterious Al shows in London ... on the 1st of November there is the opening of my exhibition in Amsterdam and the finissage of collective installation nearby Rotterdam... so there is a lot going on and I like this shit!
