I never knew when i started i would still be so passionate about graff 23 years later.. I paint more now than ever and don’t see myself slowing anytime soon.

I began organising the Bridge jam in 1994. I had been to Scotland to attend the jams Eez organised in livingston, and through his help and inspiration decided to try do it in my own home town..

The first wall was Keen, Mode2, Stylo and Prime and we have been running it annually ever since with some major players in the graf scene passing thru over the years. The main idea was to help grow the irish scene, educate ourselves by working with top international writers and make the globe aware ireland has a scene!

“That’s still the plan today as we approach year 16 and i don’t even feel half done!”

My style i feel has had a slow and steady progression ,I’m definetly guilty of repitition but i feel every piece i do i’m refining the style more an improving the overall piece .
