Darren straddles the divide between the underworld and the status quo, providing an essential bridge for digital tourists wishing to travel in either direction. He is contraction personified and has no issues walking either side of the street.\u201cI keep my feet in both camps, remaining true to my background, and that authenticity allows me to offer street art to the corporate or even the government world without losing my anarchistic soul.\u201dDarren was still in primary school when he fell in love with street graffiti. It\u2019s hard to explain to GenZ that street graffiti only arrived in the 80s from the US, notably New York. Prior to that, street painting wasn\u2019t a thing or street murals that existed typically consisted of pastoral scenes with birds, trees and fluffy clouds.The graffiti inspiration came when another family in his South London school enjoyed a holiday in America. Two brothers had witnessed graffiti on the underground trains, and they arrived back excited to share the transport of their joy.From the moment the brothers returned, loose pens were a premium at the school with interested kids looking to create their own graffiti. Much of it was done on paper initially as the young artists honed their craft before taking it to the park and sketching on the ground in chalk next to the hopscotch marks, before moving to walls and permanent ink.Not only was the garish, colourful stylistic writing adopted by their fellow London students, so too was the custom of taking a street nickname. Darren opted for Flash. Spray cans weren\u2019t even around, and the young street vandals had to be satisfied initially with regular markers and felt tip pens.Transitioning to secondary school upped the ante for Darren.
