BATMAN
.......................................................
having respect for it really means a lot to me. I’ve got
an intention with any work that I do in the future to try
and integrate some of those messages, and to use graffiti
as a platform to communicate things.”
As well as his graffiti work, Batman is part of a group of
artists called The Friendly Gang: “There’s about ten of
us, and it’s about openness and just being cool to people
and trying not to have the egos in the way so much.
We’ve done a couple of shows now and they’ve both
been really fun; just a lot of people that are really open
to interesting conversation and having a nice time and
not trying to inflate themselves too much, that’s been
the priority.” He’s also been producing a limited number
of screen prints, which he sells through Instagram. “I’ve
been exploring screen printing as a technique because it
suits my style so well, it’s great to be able to utilise that.”
