LudMasSon - The A's to Our Q's:
Wooster: How did you get started in creating art for the street?
LudMasSon: It first started when I moved to the heart of the city. I would drive around and see tons of graff and be pissed that I had nothing of mine on these cities wall. It's not that I wanted to copy these other street artists, but I wanted something of mine that stood out. That's when I came across full sheet stickerpaper. From that point on I just started creating as many different stickers as possible.
Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire and why?
LudMasSon: Some street artists that stick out for me are London Police, Faile, Dface, Adam Neate, and the The HeavyWeights. Each one of these artists/group artists have such a distinctive style that really stands out to me. Another reason I admire these artists is that they post some huge work. I sit here and post these little stickers, why these guys are posting shit that blows me away.
Wooster: What's your favorite city, neighborhood, or block, to post and/or to see street art?
LudMasSon: All of Minneapolis is a good area to post work. I can take a long walk during the day and leave a trail of my work, so if I get to drunk on the way back I just follow my stickers.
Wooster: What inspires you now?
LudMasSon: Everything inspires me.
Wooster: What are you currently working on? Can you give us a sneak peek?
LudMasSon: I have started this new series of stickers that are inspired from images that I have clipped from numerous sources. Basically, I use the image for a base of a drawing and then let my vision take over. I guess I can show you two my new stickers.
