 ARJUNA WATSON

Arjuna Watson did not go to art school. He does not have any fancy degrees. He is just a guy who paints. He always has been. His career started in 1985, in Melbourne Australia, as a rebellious13 year old trying to leave his mark spray painting walls and trains and outrunning the authorities. He join the local graffiti crew, Crims Insane (CI) and, together they went on a campaign to get as much of their art into the public arena as possible. They recognized that their street art has as much power to persuade as large branded companies spending millions a year on advertising.  He embraced the fast-paced and adrenaline fueled lifestyle of a Melbourne Graf artist. His illegal career abruptly ended with an arrest and an ultimatum from his mother. He promised her that he would stop. He moved more into the mainstream when mentored by Australian artist, Craig Foster who exchanged hard labor for life drawing classes. Graffiti was gone (sort of so my mum thought), replaced by an urge to capture images in a more realistic way put with the bold style of a street artist.
