I've always loved graffiti. When I was a kid of about 11/12, a film came out called Beatstreet, about graff in New York, and it had a huge influence on me.
I always dreamed I'd be good enough to do characters and funky lettering, unfortunately I was not artistically inclined, so my enjoyment was rooted in watching films about it, and enjoying the art whenever I could.
I still smile when I see good graffiti on the tube (subway), and I like the piece that you had commissioned.
If you don't mind me asking; what were you selling?
