It must have been at the end of middle school when I discovered graffiti, although my fascination with drawing and the arts had been with me a lot longer. My new hobby began stealing ‘precious’ time I could have used for studying for school. I realised that action had to be taken. Good art schools, great street art, late 1990s graphic design capital; United Kingdom, here I come! But that’s a long story I can tell you some other time. One thing I can tell you about that experience right now is that when I got there, I discovered that my study time had now, in fact, truly become ‘precious’.
