So I did a degree in graphic design in the 90's and later whilst studying to be a youth worker I completed the Eastern Arts Board - Artist in Residence course.

so, I understand my subject and the issues that surround it very well.

Graffiti/Art has always been pretty central to my life and the decision to write 'Brave 1' as a tagg, was partly due to the fact that I knew I wanted Art to be how I earned a living! .

....Call me Brave or Stupid?....I think the contents of this web page show how much of an adventure its been so far!

It keeps me busy

Since leaving University, me and my team of friends have painted many large-scale murals, and run hundreds of workshops. With Youth Groups, in Schools, for local Councils art initiatives. At the V& A museum in London, for channel 4 for the BBC, I've even worked in Prison 'doing graffiti'.

Teaching Spray can Art / Graffiti Art........

Young people are often interested in taking part in our form of painting, often because of the stigmas attached to our form of art.

Most young people are attracted to the element of rebellion painting with a spray can denotes.

They are attracted to the fact that painting in graffiti style is something close to being a punishable act, or forbidden form of creativity.

These are the defining factors of our work and through this understanding we find we can successfully connect with most young people.

I feel we have a moral & ethical responsibility to make sure all our students learn a bit about the history and culture that surrounds the theme of 'graffiti art'. As well as discussing the consiquences of pushing the boundaries of the law to breaking point.

Teachers or students, please don't hesitate to contact me if your interested in being involved in one of my 'graffiti/spraycan art projects.
