Today’s podcast we are heading up to Sheffield to talk with a man that embraced graffiti from both sides of the Atlantic. In an age of early Hip Hop and new concepts to the Graffiti artform, DES (also writing Such) A.C.T /E.K hit Sheffield in the early 80's like a ton of bricks. Exposing styles and techniques direct from New York to the UK shores. From Bombing the UK's M1 Motorway, to his crew A.C.T, his friendship with Seen (graffiti's most influential writer) & his historical Sheffield Graffiti Jam's, there's nothing DES hasn't done in Graffiti over his 40+ years of activity. Today this is up close and personal, this is Des / Such's Podcast.
