DREAM83

By dream83 at 2007-11-28I was born on 20.07.1983 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 15 years later in post-war Sarajevo i saw some beutiful and colorful things on walls, Those things that go by the name Graffiti will prettymuch define the rest of my life. That year i saw first graffiti pieces that were ever painted in Sarajevo by some bosnians who returned to their city after war and brought graffti skills back with them, the names were Nemo and Score, than came Kora NK, Bone, Goffy, Cas2, Pscyho than first foreigners Paw1, Nash, Lazy, Cobolt, Casino etc...Only  logical step for me was to get into it so as everyone i started with some lousy tags around my school, than sketching came in the game and after some time i met Kora NK whose styles inspired me to start doing pieces, soon after that i met Nemo and Score and knowing these people and their art made me even more grateful for the fact that i was entering really special world, couse graffiti was litlle piece of heaven in then destroyed post-war Sarajevo. First people with who i really started to hang out, to do tags, pieces and everything else were Word( today MC with Saga Nostra), Nek( today bussines sudent), Wer(today architect, kind of:) and as it usually goes we made a crew, those days we were really into gangsta* rap :) so we picked up a name: Underground Thug Rage - UTR ( www.utrcrew.com ), the funny name will later transform into Untouchable Rokaz. So you can say that UTR crew is contributing to Bosnian graffiti scene since 2000, year later Bugs36 joined the crew and he is my No1 graffiti compadre till today. UTR crew had many bosnias most influential writers as members during the last years, but only constant members are Bugs36 and me and today we are the only two Untouchable Rokaz and it will stay like that couse UTR book is closed. When i started to write i used some other tags and than came to Dream83 . During the next years i met and painted with most of the writers in balcan area and made some really good friendships. Graffiti also influeced my education so i entered the Academy of fine arts in Sarajevo,department for industrial design, and soon i started to experiment graphic design, after years of freelancing i got into 9to5 road in one advertising agency in Sarajevo(where i am sitting at this moment:), but even now after 5 i am working on variety of design projects. In 2004 year with few of my friends i started Urban culture association "N.E.K.O.", main goal of this association is promoting contemporary audio and visual arts, than as product of "N.E.K.O." in 2006 came "BALCAN EXPRESS" international graffiti art festival ( www.balcanexpress.com ) one of the biggest festivals of this type in the region, thru this event we brought some of the best europian writers to Sarajevo and we will continue to do that in future beside that we are contributing to better conections balcan area writers. So that"s it, i look forward to the future, to painting new walls, designing new stuff, meeting new cool people, chilling with my girlfriend( yo L :) and everything else that is good and positive. See you soonDream 83 Untouchable Rokaz crew
