1. What does writing/graffiti mean to you? Which part of your life takes graffiti?

An relief for my day and a way of life. My life is graffiti.

2. Tell us something about your home city: The graffiti scene, the architecture, the police and the possibilities to paint?

The graffiti scene is dead. Every now and then a writer comes out but there is no quantity. The police here are know-it-alls: they think they know a lot but really they know nothing and are uneducated about graffiti culture. There are many possibilities as long as you do your research to find good spots.

3. Is your personal style influenced by the city? Is there a special style your city stands for?

No, my style doesn't represent anything in this city, or so I think. The old schoolers used to have a similar style, very Canarian.

4. What is your point of view on the local writer scene? What communities are you gathering with?

The scene is a bit dead here - there are some local writers that are starting to be seen again, but with very little activity. My community is Saker, the most active writer in the Canary Islands. He is my motivation to paint on the island.

5. You´re well known for your creative compositions. Often they are HipHop, Movie or pop cultur related in any kind. How close are the themes your artworks connected to your daily life?

I don't know to what extent I am known for, recognition is not something I care about. Graffiti is HipHop, and my life is related to 80's and 90's cinema and HipHop.
