After a decade-long campaign of street and subway wall adorning graffiti that has garnered recognition from his homeland in the UK to collaborative art exhibits in California, ROID has finally begun a push for the demanding world of fine art. At the ripe young age of 29, the emerging street artist cultivated a reputation for his own distinct style surrounding boundary-pushing innovations and uber-technical murals. Having spent much of the last decade gaining the attention of graffiti lovers and of course the transit police, ROID joined the ranks of American street art crew MSK in 2008, the same year he graduated from London’s Camberwell College of Art. Since then, the contemporary illustrator made his art world debut alongside Revok and Rime at the Known Gallery in 2011, earning himself a nod from Forbes magazine in an article on “The 30 Most Important Artists and Designers under 30.”

DAVID FLORES - Stained Glass' Street Art
David Flores was born in Tulare, California. After graduation (Graphic design) he began his career as a commercial artist in the skateboarding industry.
David Flores, a LA-based artist who’s best known for a unique style (mosaic or segmented style) that embellishes another work of art rather than painting over it.
Flores is known for reworking iconography in a new and different way; thus giving the original image a completely postmodern aesthetic. He layered his colorful renderings over the large scale photographs in such a way that the original piece still kept its essence. The end result was an postmodern mixture of two very different styles.
