about Sket185

He lived and worked in Den Haag as a web designer before moving to Amsterdam in 2009 to focus more on his graffiti and collaborate with artists from MultiSyndicate Crew. He worked with Amsterdam Street Artists (ASA) to open a pop-up shop featuring a large collective of artists in Amsterdam and from that experience was invited to join as a featured artist of ASA. Sket185’s work stands out, because of his playful cartoon characters, unique use of bold color contrast, skilled shading, and most importantly, clean, hard, thick lines. His style is the perfect blend of old-school innovation with new-school paint caps.
