Nylon grew up watching zombie and gang films. Surrounding himself with goodies from the 1950's and 60's along with other junk form car boot sales and charity shops. This obsession with American graffiti really took off in the mid 80's when every cinema in the land was serving up versions of a world in day-glo and all problems were sorted out by a good old breakdancing battle. This warped vision eventually poisoned his brain to the degree that he could be found at the weekend creeping along train lines or loitering beneath motorway flyovers adding bubble letters and characters to an otherwise grey expanse. During early 1997 he made his comeback after a four-year period of absence from graffiti bring a new name Nylon and formed a crew "Street Trash Punks". They borrowed the STP logo from a can of oil, turning the three letters into a number of variations, most notably, "Small Time Pimps" and "Selling Teenagers Porno". This tongue in cheek title for the original crew was inspired by the 1986 Roy Frumkes film "Street Trash", a roller coaster ride of scumbag, winos drinking antique bottles of "Viper" that turns out to be toxic waste. Full of brutal comic violence and graffiti damage it is described as the ultimate melt movie. Nylon's work can be found all over Brighton and Hove in the usual spots and so called halls of fame and also shop fronts. More often than not these pieces feature the Nylon trademark "smiling boy of 50's America". Nylon has also produced graphics for Raw TV, Fosters Ice Beer, Monoxide Records, Kazoo PR, Dope Clothing, FSU and now the Nylon range found on The Urban Shop amongst other places.
