From the early 90's till the millenium, graffiti was a big subcultural movement of the youth as a part of the hip-hop culture. It's origin and roots were placed in New York, in the early 80's. About 1988  I began to discover my artistic creativity as an graffiti sprayer in Dortmund, one of the capital cities of German graffiti. After soon getting in conflict with law, I decided 1992 to drop out of all illegal spraying activities. 1994 I consequently founded the graffiti agency artlife together with the art historian Irina Potocki. Then I organized exhibitions, events and hip-hop jams like the Allstyle-Hip-Hop-Jam Dortmund or the Schwan-Stabilo-Graffiti-Contest on the youth fair You '96 and You'98 -1998 I create my last spraycan work, a madonna by Rafael. After that I changed my media to brush.
