/>Who and/or what are some of your influences?

/>everything that surrounds me is my influence, i think. in my life
there were always cartoons and comics. and i love drawing ever since i can
remember. when graffiti entered my life in ‘96 i started a journey through style
development. i love doing lettering, the oldschool lisbon style and later the
madrid style may have been some of my influences. the presence of an identity
and a personality in someone’s style is somethig that realy fascinates me. on a
paralel course i’ve been making another identity based on a character, that
started from a dog i once drawed as the letter c. i picked it up and started
painting it alot, that was in ?99. that dog had the purpose to catch people’s
atention away from the “unreadable” pieces you could see in the city, because
this was something they could easyly recognize. in that way i was very
influenced by the work of Bol23 from rome and La Mano from barcelona
