Interviews

The long conversations go deeper than anything else on the site. The earliest, from January 2012, is with Eddie Zammit, who published T-World, a journal given over entirely to the T-shirt. That June came Jimmy C, the Australian painter in London whose portraits are built from drips and circles of spray paint.

2014 was a full year. Beastman spoke from Sydney ahead of Future Origins, Alexis Diaz stepped off a flight from Montreal with a new wall planned for Shoreditch, Martyn Reed went back over how he started Nuart in Stavanger, and Above explained what Remix, his Detroit show, did to the arrow he had painted for fifteen years. Laser 3.14 talked about his one-line messages on Amsterdam’s hoardings at the close of 2015.

Then 2016 brought the Los Angeles writer Saber on graffiti, fatherhood and politics, Le Bas on painting after the screen, the Dutch pair Graphic Surgery answering six questions separately, and Robert Perry on the walls and rooms of Tattooed Mom in Philadelphia.

Each one is set down as an account of what was said, in the third person, not as a transcript.
