NAME, CREWS, BACKGROUND :

From the South of Holland.
1ST PIECE (when, where, how) :
I did my first real piece in 1997 at the age of 16 on a wall next to a basketball court. It was a "Rize" piece that had a yellow, white and green vertical fade. Alongside it was a character of an Angel and Devil head. I started it after midnight and when I was finished it was already starting to get light again. I didn't know about the fat cap back then, so I just fill it in with the standard cap that came on the sparvars. All the paint got soaked into the bare bricks. I did my outlines first and the fill-in later. I was so proud and showed it to my classmates whenever I could haha.
GRAFFITI :
I love graffiti ! There are so many styles and flavors that I can't get tired of looking at it. My first memory of graffiti is me trying to read all the new symbols and writing on the doors of my school when I was 8 years old. That was the moment I got hooked on graff and it never stopped.
INTERNET :
I used to read a lot of books. Nowadays I read YouTube comments for entertainment.
DRINK AND FOOD :
I love having a cool iced coffee on a hot day accompanied with a Bahn-Mi pork special.
PHILOSOPHY :
Try to create something nice and you'll get to see something nice in return.
MUSIC :
Composers Joe Hisaishi and John Williams
MOVIES :
My recent favorite movie has to be Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. The visuals are stunning.
And all time favorite is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Secret of the Ooze. Super Shredder is so cool, it's a shame he gets killed so quickly though.
LOVE :
When I see my friends and family are healthy and are doing well.
When I struggle with a piece and finally find the solution.
When I manage to complete a 5x5 squat workout with added higher weight.
HATE :
Old people who try to cut in line at the supermarket checkout.
POWER :
Powerlifting !
