Tell us about your city, how is life and graffiti there?
Surabaya is my city, where i feel very comfortable with the environment, friendly people and willing to open minds about new things. I am very lucky to be living in surabaya which is very safe to do graffiti from my start up till now. The development of graffiti in surabaya itself are very rapid with the hot competition among actors graffiti itself, which makes them persist in their respective ways to show the existence in the national scene in particular and international generally.

The spread of graffiti at that time only through the cover of hip hop album on the cassete tape.

The following year i started to apply the sketch of the paper to the wall, until now.
