The act of doing graffiti, performance art done by and for the artist personal satisfaction,
is graffiti in its truest form. The paint on the wall is purely an after-effect depicting the
hard-core struggle to be free.His whole life he has been busy with drawing and painting, he started with copying
cartoons like Donald Duck but pretty soon he developed his own style. Later in 1984 he
was drawn to this new art form called Graffiti. A Thursday night, back in 1985, at the
parking lot behind the AH in Almelo, the spray-paint he and a friend stole earlier was
jammed and didn't work so they went back to that store and said that they lost their
receipt. At the end they did get their spray-can so they could finish their first piece ever
"BASIC" with dark brown fill in hahahaha but in those days they didn't have the luxury to
choose between 255 Montana Gold Colors.
In 1992, he went to the Art Academy in Antwerp [Belgium] where he studied photography
and meanwhile enjoyed the party/graffiti scene. After school he went back to Holland and
ended up in The Hague. He worked there as a web designer for the government of
the Netherlands called LEI. In 1996 he started doing graffiti workshops for the youth and
kids in the neighbourhood, but he also gave classes for students and teachers like at
the TU Delft. From there he went on doing festival decorations and making graffiti art for
the music industry. Now Sket185 is working for TAGGER bags in Scheveningen, selling and designing cool graffiti minded bags and more........
