I started painting graffiti style murals in Brighton in 1984.

My crew was Instant Karma with Jade 2 and She 1.

In the late 90s I formed The Dusty Knights with Jas and Nylon.

We specialised in full production murals. 

I have also been developing a style I call ‘Spraypaint Realism’ 

which is a  kind of Spraypaint Impressionism. 

I no longer put myself in the graff tradition which I find too limiting 

in it’s expressive options. 

Currently I make images of my Muse in spraypaint, ink or oil paint.

For 2016 I have recreated my crew TDK with new members  Sinna One and 10 of swords.
