Art Made Easy


Art Made Easy comprises of myself (Shade2), Chaos and Bernz. We have been graffin' as a crew for ten years, and Chaos and myself since 1985.

I have known Chaos since we were six years old, although we didn't really start hanging out until we were in secondary school. We got in to Hip-Hop the usual way in about 1984 through Breakin and graffiti. Throughout the 80's and 90's we alternated between Breakin' and graffiti with a leniency toward graffiti.

The evolution of my graffiti has been due to the people I have graff'd with over the years, people who have moved on, got married or I've just lost contact with.

I especially owe a lot to Gaz who taught me a lot, and showed me graffiti styles from all over including Wolverhampton, Birmingham and London. Although he was a B-Boy and just liked to fill-in when we did a piece, I always seemed to do my best stuff with him.

I'll post these at some point along with everything up to now with a description of what I remember, from designing to spraying each piece.

It's creativity with done with zest! I like how Graham puts a little bit of himself in his work! I think a lot of people forget that. If you do what you love best, the money will follow! Kudos!
