Kid Acne: Yes - this is my first exhibition in Austria. I visited Vienna 4 or 5 years ago as part of a European hip-hop tour. We played a concert at FLUC club, which was a lot of fun. We did shows in Switzerland, Germany and France too, catching the train between countries like Sherlock Holmes or something. Did you have the chance to paint some walls on the streets too?
Not yet, but I was here in the Summer to meet the gallery and painted a few things then… Your clients include PRADA, Levis, Volkswagen etc. etc.. Do you have an Agency for business like that or do these people contact you directly?
I don't have an agent. Generally these companies contact me directly. I spent almost 10 years working as an illustrator. Each job generated publicity for the next, but nowadays I don't really push this aspect of my work. I don't have a portfolio as such, but once in a while a client will see my work somewhere and ask to collaborate on a project. I prefer it this way. It's less pressure and makes the experience more enjoyable. The term "Street Art" got pretty mashed up during the last years. How important is the "Street" in your art to you and what does it actually mean today to be a Street Artist?
Street / Urban / Aerosol - they're all interchangeable terms, generally depending on what audience the work is being sold to. For me, it makes no difference, it's just art - either good or bad. I'd like to make my work more 'rural' to be honest. I like painting in the middle of nowhere.
