We were asked by the editor of hooper to do an interview of a Graffiti Artist.

It was only a few weeks ago but it seems like years and geez it was fun!

It's great to visit an artist's studio, witnessing all the tools of the trade like brushes, spray cans, markers, paints, pots and varying degrees of clutter. Also, in most instances you see a lot of the inspirations and methodology behind the creative mind.
Cherie is no exception, with stacks of stuff ready to hand, to be used as a catalyst for her next project.

An Interview
In the beginning there was Graffiti - yep you read it right, over thirty thousand years ago mankind was leaving hand prints and painting animals on cave walls. So the impulse to make a mark is in our DNA and is as old as mankind itself. These days, painting on walls can be just as knarly but it's now loads of fun and with modern day methods like using low pressure spray cans, paint pens, inks, paste ups and so much more, it has certainly stepped it up a notch…
