BATES took time out to interview his mate GREAT about his history and stylistic influences.
B: What is graffiti for you?
G: It’s freedom to express yourself and do what you feel like doing. Not what society or anybody else want you to do. It’s a art form outside the norm so there are not the same restrictions, like somebody have to buy it or you got to get a gallery show, you just go out and do it, the city is your gallery, its not for sale but everybody sees it.
