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.
