Street art is mainstream now.

>>> About you ...

I started this work at 10 years ago. The street is my school.
I stay here now because I am now studying.

 

>>> Your style of work ...

Illustration, design, animation, ... I sell the original artworks too – 
so I am a jack-of-all-trades^^

 

>>> Typography is ...

Sense of fun.

 

>>> How do you feel about an ever-growing interest and commercial

exploitation of the street art phenomenon as new pop culture ?

Street art is a mainstream art culture now.
I think all main culture is about big business. But I don't know. 
I haven't done the commercial exploitation yet.
 

>>> Your favorite cooperation or project ...

It is all happy to make the thing. I thank to my life. 
I collaborated with ZOOKIMONO.com. We started to sell our stuff there.

 

>>> Do you see your art as universal, as globally understandable ?

Hahaha! I like my artworks, but ...

 

>>> Which aspect of your work is often overlooked ?

... I don't understand it myself.

 

>>> What comes next ?

I participate in exhibitions and animation and plan to make some records.
I work with http://www.dublab.com/ and http://www.digforfire.tv/.

 

>>> Any last remarks ?

Then, it is a question from me. Earth is crying. Parts of the world too. 

What can we do now?
