Terratag takes the spirit of Japan and messes it up, twisting Japanese themes into a unique graphic vocabulary. Mutating and originating a truly innovative Anglo-Japanese hybrid. Until now, graffiti art has been Hip-Hop based, only using the western alphabet. Terratag look East for their inspiration and, in doing so, have added a new dialect to the genre of graphic art. Primarily a showcase of typographic experimentation, fun and mayhem, Jot of Text is an inspired mix of Wild Style Graffiti, Tagging, Manga, Samurai B-Boys and Tattooed Japanese B-Girls. Paul, the man behind Terratag, is a Japaholic. His addiction started at the age of 16 with the release of Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s ‘Flaunt it’, its sleeve emblazoned with Japanese text and dominated by a giant robot. Once hooked it was all to easy to get sucked in... Japanese comics, magazines, films and pop... The imagination, the style, the imagery blowing his mind. Born in 1970 and brought up in Yorkshire, Paul moved to London in 1989, to study Graphics at Kingston University. Within a few months of leaving University he started Prototype 21. At Prototype 21 he was responsible for the creative output, which included graphic design and illustration contracts and creating the T-shirt brand Prototype 21, the forerunner to Terratag. Most of the contract work was music related and past clients include Andrew Weatherall, Aphex Twin, Global Communication, Orbital, Warp Records and more recently Wagamama, Harvey Nichols and Production IG animation studios in Japan. Since 2002 Paul has concentrated his efforts on Terratag. This year saw Paul working more on art projects including the creation of canvases, photographic prints and the exhibiting thereof.
