Who’s Does?
The name “Does” originates from the third person singular of the verb “to do”. I first used this name when I started sketching letters in 1996; I was fourteen years old at that time. In 1997 I did my first piece with spraycans.
Why do you paint graffiti?
I personally need to be creative to feel good. It’s a perfect distraction from the everyday routine.
How have been the stages in your career?
When I was in primary school I was always drawing and playing with letters. In 1997 I did my first piece, but at that time I really had no idea about the scene in my city. As I began to notice that there were quite a few active graffiti artists in my neighbourhood, I started to get really interested in graffiti. During the period of 1997 to 2000 I only made a few pieces and in 2000 I stopped for three years. In 2003 I made my comeback on the wall.
What motivates you to keep painting?
I am always trying to develop my style. I don’t know where it will end, but I’m never satisfied, so I keep myself busy and that motivates me.
How’s the relation between you and the writers of your city?
The relation is very good. The most active writers in my city are Nash, Bambie, Chas Tumki and myself. It is a small scene, but we have a lot of starters and new talents. In the past the scene was a little bigger.
Who are your main influences(local and global)?
I was inspired by the different graffiti artists that painted near my hometown. I was specifically influenced by writers like Chas, Stance, Bah, Nash and Casroc. They always worked very cleanly and did some great production walls. Furthermore, I have always been inspired by the graffiti styles in other Dutch cities and foreign countries such as Germany and Switzerland. Other influences came from Stain, Nyse, Sunk, Vens, Dare, Atom and Swet.
What do you think Dare gives us as teaching?
Dare has been a big influence for a lot of graffiti writers in the world. For me he was a big inspiration as well, but most of all a great friend.
What does make you love the letters?
I really like to play with letters; find connections and try to give them the right flow.
What do you prefer; taggin´ or piecing?
I prefer to do pieces. In the past I was more interested in bombing than nowadays. I prefer quality instead of quantity.
How’s the graffiti in The Netherlands and in general in Europe?
There are a lot of great artists in Europe. Train writers, Legal writers, Bombers, Street artists; there are a lot of possibilities in this scene. In The Netherlands you have great artists like Zedz, Delta, Shoe and many more. There is also a big train scene here, but also people who choose to do only legal walls or doing both. Most big cities in Europe has legal walls where it is allowed to paint graffiti. There are also a lot of Graffiti festivals during a year. I think there are a lot of similarities with the rest of the world.
How has the graffiti change in the last 10-15 years in aesthetic matters?
I think the internet changed a lot. In the past we did not have the internet, so getting around was the only way to get an idea of the different styles etc. However, I had no idea about what was going on in the global graffiti scene. Right now you can find a lot of stuff in magazines and on internet.
Which are the cities with more graffiti in Europe?
Every city has his own scene. There are a lot of good writers in Europe. If you ask me, the city that is killing it in Europe is Paris. This is the city that has excelled in many different ways from the moment graffiti hit Europe.
What is your favorite paint brand?
I prefer to paint with Ironlak.
How do you see the european graffiti compared to the Rest of the world’s?
I feel there are many similarities wherever you travel which is due to the magazines and the internet.
Is it any relation between graffiti and football and what is your favorite team?
For me it is the perfect combination. The most important reason for taking up graffiti again in 2003 was because I felt that I needed some distraction from my job as a professional soccer player. In the period before this I suffered from some severe injuries. It was then that I decided to pick up my blackbook again. I support the local team of my city.
When the organizers of total writting invited you to Bogotá, how did you think this city could look like? How did you see it once you get here?
If I am honest I had really no idea what to expect. After it; Bogota was one of my greatest travel experiences so far.
What was the thing that you liked most and less?
It was hard to see glue sniffing people in the ghetto’s of Las Cruces, but on the other side it was also good that we have been there. Than you understand how lucky we are with the things we have. I Realized how privileged I am.
How did you see the local graffiti?
There were a lot of talented people. I really liked the graffiti scene and the people in Bogota. I also mentioned that the people were very enthusiast about graffiti.
Which were your favourite spots?
Every spot that we have painted in Bogota was great. The festival was amazing, but if I have to choose my favorite spot it will be the walls we did in the streets of Las Cruces.
How was the food?
I haven’t got any local food. We had a perfect hotel and everything was very well organized; also the food.
Thinking to come back some day?
Hopefully I will come back to Colombia in the future.
How do you see Bogotan Graffiti in 10 years?
There will be a bigger and more developed graffiti scene. The scene is quite young if you compare it with other parts in the world.
I also hope for you guys that it is still easy to paint walls without permission like last year, because it is very unique. For us it was a truly writers paradise.
Any advise for local writers?
Wear your gas mask!
Props, last words or anything more to say?
Thanks to everybody I have met in Bogota! I had a great time over there.
