Regular Product - The A’s to Our Q’s:
Wooster: How did you get
started in creating art for the street?
Regular Product: The
first thing I did apart from scrawling my name on things was some stickers for a
project at art college in the early ninties. I pasted them up around the uni and
on the street outside and then took my lecturers around to see them. They failed
me.
Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire and
why?

"left">Regular Product: My current favourite is a guy called
"http://www.greenplanet.com.au/eternity/eternity.htm">Arthur Stace who was
active in Sydney in the in the early 1900s and wrote the word ‘Eternity’ on
pavements with chalk. He was a bit of a religious nut, but the word itself is
pretty cool for what is essentially a temporary tag, and he did it about half a
million times, which is right up there with the most prolific modern
campaigns.
Wooster: What’s your favorite city, neighborhood,
or block, to post and/or to see street art?
Regular Product:
Bethnal Green, Brick Lane and Shoreditch - where Regular Product was born.

Wooster: What inspires you now?
Regular
Product: Loads of stuff, mostly things I see just walking the streets and
especially those picture/word cards for kids that you can find in shops in most
chinatowns around the world.
