Bo130 - The A’s To Our Q’s


Wooster: How did you get started in creating art for the
street?

align= "right">Bobo: I’ve got into graffs after my first trip to the
states, back in 1982 with my parents we’ve been all over from nyc to minneapolis
to san francisco, l.a., miami…..... I was so little and for me was like been
in the movies. one of the things I remember from that trip it’s new york and the
stange scribblings on the wall and the amazing bombed subway. when I came back
home I’ve started practice, another step into the addiction was when I’ve seen
the movie style wars and "http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/WildStyle-1080057/preview.php">wild style
and after reading /0805006788/ref=lib_dp_TFCV/103-1503502-

was like….yes I’ve got to get up! a guy who teach me a lot and for me always
the number one it’s a guy called "http://www.italianrap.com/artists/artists_bios/koas1/">kaos one, now a

Wooster:  How did you come up with
the face that you use in your stickers?  Where does it originate from?

/>Bo130: the faces rappresent the multicultaral multilingual side of big
cities, they are actually aliens….‘couse a lot of people like me feel like
aliens in their home town ...probably the faces rappresent my alter ego or most
definetly they are portreits of me early in the morning…..
