Having seen a number of the superb authentic graffiti art work we caught up with Graffiti Life in London to fund out extra about their work and what insprires them with their artwork. We had been amazed by the number of work when it comes to design and composition and having seen their retro recreation, film, TV and cartoon associated work we needed to know extra. 

GYL. In a sentence what’s graffiti life?

We like beautifying areas, forwarding public artwork and selling graffiti as a optimistic artform. This artform has modified our lives, its such a robust medium and type of expression.

So we had been caught in useless finish jobs a number of years again, hating what we did and portray on the weekend. We questioned what it will be like, and if it will be doable, to color on a regular basis, like, as a job! I do not assume we anticipated it to grow to be what it has. We had been fortunate with timing as we began out when the road artwork growth was simply starting, we began on a small scale however now we work with a number of the largest manufacturers on the planet. 

It’s vital. We discover that once we work on regeneration programmes artwork can assist deliver communities collectively. It’s superb how hooked up and proud individuals grow to be to murals of their space. In one other sense there may be the road artwork group, superb artists that maintain us competitively upping our recreation. We have a small gallery in East London that enables us to assist showcase road artists that the general public won’t know and develop the scene in that means additionally.

Yeah, workforce constructing is basically enjoyable. We educate individuals the essential methods and a few tips of the commerce and in a brief period of time get them to supply a bit of labor they are often pleased with, it is actually cool to see that development in a brief house of time. We paint murals, in houses, places of work and as promoting within the streets. We additionally do numerous reside artwork, at something from conferences to festivals. This job has taken us all around the world and offered so many alternatives, it is loopy to assume that portray on partitions might flip into this!

I’d additionally love to color one thing for a online game, that was truly used within the recreation. Often any graffiti that seems in video games is basically unhealthy, we might do one thing superior!

Yeah, we’re speaking about doing a present on outdated recreation cartridges, could be attention-grabbing to see what our artists got here up with. Thinking about it, a present of customized consoles could be fairly cool too..

Just a few celebs have requested us for art work and we have labored on sure tasks which have allowed us entry to fulfill some well-known individuals. Most just lately the lead singer of the Bare Naked Ladies has bought a Star Wars portray we made!

The notion is usually optimistic these days, very completely different to once we first stared our portray careers. The public and media perceive graffiti, so they don’t seem to be afraid of it. There will all the time be detractors to the artform, however we do not actually let that trouble us.. As lengthy as we’re nonetheless producing highly effective art work, we’re good.

We work globally, however our base is right here in London. The road artwork scene in Shoreditch is vibrant so it is a good match. It’s an inspiring stroll to work every day.

I feel 2015 goes to be an ideal 12 months. Our ambition is to develop as artists and unfold our artwork to as many locations as doable.

Anyone can paint, draw or do graffiti. To excel at something takes time and observe, graffiti is not any completely different, I actually imagine that!
