ROID - (MSK) Street Art of innovation: high technical skills required!

ROID, a graffiti and street-art artist from Bristol (GB), was born in 1982.

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.”

MAU MAU - A UK Street Artist without border

An established artist on the street art scene and a homegrown southwest talent, Mau Mau has been putting his artwork on canvas and bombing public spaces for over a decade.

As well as his exploits in the art world, he has worked on video animations for Dizzee Rascal and The Herbaliser and created album covers and logos for Skitz (including the new release Sticks Man) Rodney P, Roots Manuva and Estelle.

He is currently producing thought provoking street-smart designs for THTC’s eco trendy clothing. Not by any means a stranger to the fashion industry, back in the 90’s Mau Mau worked on his own clothing label – Sewerside - producing iconic designs that gained a cult following.

Mau Mau has quite literally tagged the world - painting pieces all over the UK, America, Jamaica, Thailand, and Australia. His distinctive style often comes with a message – ideas prompted by political and environmental topics and served with a typically ironic British twist.
