Inteview with DAN.

From Glasgow, Scotland, DAN. started to heavily get into art during High School. Art always found a way back into his life so he decided to leave and follow his passion. Inspired by the works of Jef Aerosol, C215 and Snik, he studied and practiced the ways of stencil art. He sees himself more as a 'newborn' artist with the journey only just beginning. He'll soon be re-locating to Edinburgh where he plans to set up a studio. He'll also have his first exhibition this summer in Scotland, but he'll be aiming to get more lined up throughout the next few years, gradually making his way to painting his work on to the streets of Europe.
