Sickboy

At the beginning of 2000, strange domed temples began to spring up like mushrooms on the street corners and trash containers of Bristol. They were the start of a gaffiti phenomenon known as Sickboy. Actively painting graffiti as a background for 10 years, he enjoys frequent travels to spread his art across Europe. His unmistakable pallette of a red and yellow that is his trademark. In 1999 he and fellow writer Spam set up a crew named AAGH (Ave a go heroes) a crew that tries to be as experimental as possible in its approach to graffiti and painting, a facet that Sickboy himself is always trying to include in his own work. Sickboy currently works freelance as an illustrator and has recently exhibited canvas work alongside Banksy, David Shrigley, D*Face and Modern Toss.
