THE BUSINESS? THE PRACTICE? THE JOURNEY?

WHATEVER THE RIGHT TERM IS, IT HAS NEVER HAD A CONCRETE START DATE. THE PROCESS HAS GROWN ORGANICALLY SINCE FINISHING ART SCHOOL IN 2015

HAVING WORKED EXTENSIVELY ACROSS THE ART INDUSTRY SINCE THAT TIME, AND HAVING THE GOOD FORTUNE OF WORKING ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE UK’S LARGEST STREET ARTISTS, IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG BEFORE MY EVENINGS WERE ABSORBED BY LATE NIGHT EXCURSIONS

WHAT STARTED AS A FUN STREET ART VENTURE HAS EVOLVED INTO A VARIED PRACTICE OF URBAN ART & DESIGN. STARTING SMALL, AND LOCAL, TODAY THE PORTFOLIO INCLUDES NOTABLE CLIENTS INCLUDING NETFLIX UK, LOCAL GOV AUTHORITIES, GREAT NORTHERN (AND MORE)

YET AT THE HEART OF IT ALL, ARE THE INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES THAT KEEP THE FIRE BURNING (PLUS SOME RANDOM STREET ART TO CIRCLE BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN)
