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!
