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.

Blake pairs street art with an understanding and appreciation of artists such as Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Gerhard Richter to achieve something that is truly one of a kind.
