AN INTERVIEW WITH DEMOS
I’m Demos. Been painting since 98’. My name is short for demos - cratis which is Latin for people - power. Or power to the people and I represent the people side or that equation.
2. tell us about how you see graffiti art
I have always tried to be as well rounded as possible. Painting trains, street spots, track sides, big blockbusters, wildstyle productions, throws, burner panels, whole cars, and also playing the numbers game pumping out a ton of simple cars as well.
3. What inspired you to get into this subculture? maybe describe some local history in your hood-
I got into hip hop when I was young and it was thriving in the mid to late 90’s. I bboy’d a bit, but sucked at rapping and never had the tech to make beats but fell in love with writing my name on shit.
I grew up very close to the B.C. rail head quarters and would constantly see trains going by. So along with tagging buses and the city I would walk the lines on my way home from downtown almost every other day and started getting up on freights as well.
