What's the hardest part of being an artist or greatest challenge?
Being able to concentrate on your path but at the same time finding time to do other things, without being curbed by your work and keeping your mind open to new ideas.
There's not a unique recipe for everyone, and this is maybe a useful thing to think about.
What's the very best piece of advice you've ever received? It doesn't have to just be about art.
Don't rush, and don't be afraid of "missing the train". Often just by walking you can arrive at the same point or at least you will see more things.
Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to stop and think about what you're doing.
Any little-known facts about street art?
Whatever we could tell, if it came up to our little region it's probably not so little-known.
What makes you keep putting your work up?
The pleasure and the need to carry on a matter, which sometimes probably turns into mere obstinacy. As well as the subtle (and a little embarrassing) presumption to succeed sometimes, and in some way, in creating something new.
