DON

Don is stoked to be part of the BAZAART (Street art festival) painting with so many great names like: Eelus, Randoncuts, Busk, Fark, BonBon, Hutch, Dank, Snub 23, Stickee and many more, it is a dream come true.

Don... started out in '83' - heavily influenced by the film Beat Street + as a member of a breaking crew, combined hip hop dance + rap with graff art. Finding himself drawn more to the art side of the culture, he began tagging + outlining on trains + trackside walls. Constantly reminded of the legal standpoint on graffiti, he turned these 'negative' aspects into the positive, tutoring @ an East End school - constructively educating the children towards the mural form of graffiti art. Don feels his involvement with graffiti has contributed greatly to his understanding + appreciation of the broader spectrum of the ART WORLD, playing a major part in his professional career in the Art Department of Film / TV. He is currently working with a production designer on a feature film + has also incorporated his graff work into several commissions for commercials + tv work. In doing so, Don promotes the art from the street - to a more diverse media.

Don has just completed art work for GHOST club - Farringdon and Exhibiting at the VANS shop in Kingston Upon-Thames. The canvases displayed in VANS are retained canvases from his DON pieces/murals painted in LONDON Town... which are now gone/finished/history/underbelly...
