In 2010 we started our first business, Graffiti Life. Back then; there were no real community platforms, advice or relevant podcasts. We started our business with a canvas on an easel, handing out business cards on the high street. In the years that followed we have generated a massively successful business. Our team has grown from three to fifteen and we regularly make art for global brands like Nike, L’Oreal and Disney. We’ve also expanded in other ways. We’ve opened a tattoo studio, a company focused on creative out of home advertising, an interior design project and a gardening club, amongst other things! We are often emailed by artists and creatives asking advice. This is why we have decided to make the Creative Rebels podcast; to empower the next generation of creatives.
