LONES: ''Lones'' is a young grafitti artist from Sydney. The new generation. Lones was drawing from a young age and developed a liking for letter art. It started off as title pages in his school books and gradually, his name and then various other aliases before coming to Lones.The tag coming from the fact he had spent many nights alone just drawing and coming up with new ideas. He recently became interested in canvases and brush art. Lones' artwork is influenced by street art. Artists like Revok, G'lato, Ears, Mie, Asih, Herbert Baglione in particular, which shows in the movement and flow of his wild and sharp style. Lones likes street art because of the freedom of being able to express yourself with the world as your canvas and the versatility of what can be done and where. Always something bigger, somewhere higher. He uses spray paint to create fades and dripping effects and acrylics for the finer details, and for rendering shape and tone to his characters and unique font. In his spare time Lones is either surfing the waves of Shark Island, sketching new ideas for pieces to come, or making music with his synth keyboard and microphone.
