I spent a lot of time with my brother and friends in east London when I first left the navy. There was so much creative energy in the city, especially in Shoreditch with its pop-up galleries and the street art around Brick Lane – the huge, posterised murals by the likes of Shepard Fairey had me in awe. The urban art spoke to me. It felt raw, with a self-taught practice executed in the same DIY media I was already experimenting with, such as aerosols and stencils.
