There's a very, very big difference between graffiti and street art. Graffiti writers are infinitely more hardcore than I will ever be. So what were we? Like we were, you know, misfits. You know, drawing little characters with marker pens or we did paste ups. And then using wallpaper paste to stick it up somewhere on the side of an old shop in London.
In conversation with Mysterious Al, a contemporary artist / street artist from London now living in Melbourne, Australia. The conversation covers Al's background, how he makes his art, the difference between street art & graffiti, attitudes towards graffiti, how Al needs to use social media (but doesn't like it!) his recent ghost train exhibition, and more.
