These two met about 3 years ago whilst studying graphic design and illustration in Sheffield. Ever since then street art has dominated their lives and minds. Inspired by the northern city’s colourful urban ruins they began scribbling in dark abandoned factories, throwing paint at dirty walls. They have never looked back. Their collaboration was born out of a collision of two distinctly different styles, clean and fresh vs irratic and messy. These contrasting techniques create big, bold, bright and usually nature inspired pieces. To them and everyone else the alliance just seemed to make sense. Also they are big believers that a lick of paint never hurt anyone.
