Age: 25
Hometown: Sants, Barcelona
Where do you now live?: In Barcelona,
Where would you most like to live?: Barcelona is a good city to live, a lot of creative people, good spots to paint and i have here my family and friends. Not is important the city, the people are important.
Who was your first "hero" in life?: I don't have heros.
What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: Read the newspaper, surf on internet, paint, and speak with my friends about intelligent terms. Like printing tecnics, povera terrorism, drugs...
What is your favorite color?: Ganges yellow from montana colors.
Who (or what) do you love?: I love the drips, the dust in the wall and the begginer tags. I love to think when a person make a rufftop. I think, make a tag with a mop is very sexy. All the ink, ... I love it. That's are my fauvorite things. And yes, i love the Kores Camaleon.
Who and/or what are some of your influences?
The first influence allways are the friends, his work or his influences. I dont believe in a selfmade man. Sometimes people copy other people, and you see it, and say: This is not my way, i don't like wen the people remind me for copy another people.
What other artists do you most admire?
I admire some Barcelona street artist like ONG crew, 00+, Tofu Lines, elxupetnegre ( i think the first street logo arround the world, a Black Pacifier), 1980 crew (Bebens, Riot, Mr, Rodrigone, ...), and i not admire the only-merchandisin'-internetsociety "street artist".
How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?
I called my drawings "Cute Throw up style". Plain colors, textures, some drips, border less characters. I make my pieces in ten minutes, is important o maintain some errors, I do not like to paint too clean. It's bombing.
What other talent would most like to have?
To have ideas impossible to make, speak too much, work with the computer and design my home-page and the site of my crew. www.ongcrew.org/spitong , www.ongcrew.org
What do you fear the most?
The police? The beginners stencil makers that they cover the graffiti walls. And the brands. Please don't buy Nike, Diesel, Eastpak, "Forum de les cultures", the trendy magazines, ... they use our art to sell more, not because they like. (http://www.nograffiti.c om/letters/nike_letter.htm)
What is your greatest ambition?
Save the world, walk don' run. Anothe world is possible. And continue reading the walls, to see my friends.
