The Artful Dodger (A. Dee) is a first-generation veteran of the London Urban Art/Aerosol Writing scene going back to the early 1980s, serving as an influence to some of today’s top UK artists in that field.
Originally being influenced by art masters such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh, and later, Salvador Dali in his early art career, once he established his reputation as an urban artist he made the transition from the streets to the corporate world, evolving professionally to have clients which include LucasFilm (Star Wars), Heathrow Airport, EA Games, MTV, The South Bank Show, The Sunday Times, as well as a well-known breakfast cereal.
On the community arts side of his portfolio, he has a strong background in both organising and facilitating a variety of creative mural projects and workshops. Working mainly in inner cities with disadvantaged youth and other young people (through children’s arts charities such as SP8 Of The Art), he also been involved in projects in the US and throughout Europe, as well as all over the UK.
