THEME ONE

Give me your name, crew(s), and how long have you been painting?

theme aj brc dos

What was it that made you get into graffiti, what was it that made you go, fuck I want to do that?

seeing vote/zeps getting up arond my town slapping tags/throws everywhere then i later
found out a few guys fae school were into it too, we created the crew SSA, heavy toy styles
at the time, then we all kinda drifted away from it, tho i kept the wee flame in ma heart
burning and took up the can again a few years later, it wasnt long after that til i met the
aj boys, and the rest as we say, is history...

Who were your early influences and who/what influences you now?

dice/dose/enos/eska stuff on the tracks and seein aj/se about town and an old dutch graff
mag were what i looked to back in the day, especially cece, opak and deltas styles fuck
knows what it is now, too many things influence me these days, manga/anime/japanese
culture,simple cartoon styles,spanish graff,alot of the funky brazilian shit on fotolog from
the fleshbeck crew, too much to mention...

You have a very distinctive style - describe it?

i never really like to do the same piece twice like most folk in schotland seem to be into
these days, always got to keep it fresh and funky, and with the other brc boys we like to
play off each others styles and get something cool and cartoony goin, with da funk of
course...

From a personal point of view how important is it to be part of a crew?

always important, otherwise id be doin the characters and mulsioning the background maself..... but aye always good to have people on the same wave length...

Bombing, piecing or a production? What's your preferred choice and why?

used to love bombing, but ive gotten lazy in my old age, got to be piecing in the sun,
gettin a proper wall done

What's your opinion on the current Scottish Graff scene?

its ok i guess.... some of the stuff coming out of edinburghs pretty fresh, tho that seems
to be mostly foreigners....

Whats your favourite piece and why?

probably this one from 06 (below), a bit dated but still my favourite, we done this production when omer returned to scotland after being exiled to kent a year earlier, good day, good wall, and all the pieces were burning

What are your goals for 2008 graffiti wise?

try and get a bit more done, last year was a bit of a washout wi the usual scottish
pishness weve come to expect now and i didnt bother with any of the jams, hopefully it'll be a bit more like 06, gettin around piecing alot in different cities and meeting new folk

Will you still be painting in ten years time?

hopefully aye, probably by then i'll be able to afford more than one paint order a year....

Every writer has a story that they like to tell whether 'the time they met and painted with someone, some beef or a chase story. What's yours?

theres been too many trackside/street chase stories to pick out one, tho i remember when
tribe bought a can of juice out the kebab shop with a skeleton keyring, good times....

Any last words?

keep it beefy.

who wants to take over the blog?

The reason I set up this blog was to highlight the artwork being produced throughout the whole of Scotland, not just the locations that some other sites might want to pay a visit to - no offence.

I wanted the blog to be true reflection of what has gone before and what is happening now. I wanted this place to be a site where people could visit and see the type of work that they are producing and/or like. The only true way to achieve this, i feel, is to offer posting rights to those who are out there writing, have done so in the past, have something to contribute and would like to see the positives of the Scottish scene continue to be displayed for all to enjoy.

This may be a big risk, but the sole responsibility for this would lie on the shoulders of you the guest poster. Any bullshit will be removed immediately along with posting rights. This is not an opportunity for beef to be settled or created. Its an opportunity for everyone within the scene to be a part of this and help create an archive of what we are all creating.

I will still be posting up on a regular basis so if this doesnt work out then its not the end of the blog, things will just return to the way they are now.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think about this.

Searching....

If you are new to the site you may have missed a lot of the previous posts.

On the right hand side of the blog front page there is archive in year order. There is also a search facility at the top left of the screen to allow you to search for flix by artist, location etc. I have found that sometimes the search box doesnt appear and that you may need to refresh the page.
