In 2006, I moved to NYC...
to make TV commercials, as a creative art director in advertising. Immediately, I fell in love with the city streets and the art covering its walls. Instead of frequenting galleries and museums, I walked the streets for hours in search of art. After 9 years of photographing street art, I decided it was my time. I had done my research and I had some ideas. My only goal was to make art that connected with people, stop them in their tracks and make them smile. In December 2015, I put up my first illegal, street wheatpaste and it changed my life forever.
My art has since been used by MTV, Adidas, Four Loko, the Grammy's and in films by Michael Bay and Spike Lee. I was named by Art Net as 1 of 10 global street artists to keep an eye on.
