“Dear Wooster Collective,

My name is Jack Addis after reading your post on the site on the 25th Aug, I realized I have been following your site since I was fifteen; I’m now twenty two!

7 years ago I sent over a submission of a single layer stencil, which to my surprise you guys emailed me back! I continued my art education and after a two-year college course I went to university for three more years and last year graduated in Fine Art Painting.

Its strange I feel as if I’ve grown up with your site, checking up at least weekly.  For me it is a great source of inspiration and keeping up with news on what is happening in the art world.

So seven years later I’ve just moved to Bristol in the UK, trying to make it work as an artist. There is a vibrant art scene with shows of young artists happening weekly and much bigger events such as See No Evil, in which a whole street was painted by a selection of amazingly talented street artists.

I’ve attached a piece i’ve just been working on today, all my work is purely digital, glitching and data bending images to create work that is trying to deal with what its like to grow up in a ever increasing connected and digitalized world. If you have have time check out my blog for more!

Again thanks for being there guys your hard work and passion are a real inspiration to me, I hope your well

All the best

Jack Addis
