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

The

photo-albums and life in general.

What other artists do
you most admire?

Decline, a guy putting up massive amounts of
hand-drawn stickers around here. Also the boys and girls at href="http://www.Stencilrevolution.com">Stencilrevolution.com, and all the
artists featured on this site.

How would you describe your art to
someone who could not see it?

I make stencils out of
pictures and drawings I find interesting.  I don’t have a strong message with
what I do, I just want to brighten up the boring streets a little.  I paint on
a lot of different things, all have in common that they are pretty easy to
remove. For the streets I mostly paint on stickers, legoboards, styrofoam, vinyl
records, tiles, cardboard and wooden boards.  Then if someone hates it, they can
just take it down instead of calling the cops.  If people like some of my stuff,
it’s also easy to take it home.  I hope my vinyls won’t hang on the walls for
ever. Most of the people I’m talking to about this don’t even know how a stencil
works, so most of the time I’m trying to explain how I do it rather than why I
do it.

/>What other talent would most like to have?

I wish
I had a talent for hand-drawing.

What do you fear the
most?

Impotence

What is your
greatest ambition?

To develop my skills. Constantly
getting better at whatever I’m trying to do.
