ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T GET TO MEET EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU DO DRAW A LOT OF RAPPERS THAT ARE FROM AMERICA, SO MEETING THEM IS QUITE DIFFICULT [BOTH LAUGH] BUT IS THERE A FAVOURITE MOMENT OR PERSON WHO HAS RESPONDED TO YOUR WORK?E?
"Favourite person, wow, trying to think of who has actually seen my work. I think my favourite person … I don't know, each of them has– Right, ok. Not my favourite person but the best feeling I've had from somebody recognising my work was Rick Ross. I was on Twitter, and I was new to Twitter then so I didn't really know how to use it probably so I just hashtagged a lot. So I had this drawing of him and I kept uploading different drawings that I had done at the time, and Rick Ross just happened to be one of them, so I put loads of different hashtags, like #RickRoss #TeflonDon #MMG and just uploaded it and left it. And then all of a sudden on my profile I saw my followers had skipped by like ten and I didn't refresh the page so was like 'whats going on?'. So I went on my notifications then saw Rick Ross has favourited, retweeted then work and then followed me and was then like 'wooow'. Then all of a sudden I had about like three hundred followers and so many tweets and so many people like congratulating me, saying my artwork was “amazing”, “I should keep doing what I'm doing”. I think that was my favourite one because it was an overwhelming support network of people that just came out of nowhere and I was just like, this is incredible. So that, for me, was my favourite one because of the feeling that it gave me. It just really made me feel like I can definitely make something of the work I'm producing – if Rick Ross can see it and put it on his page, then like it can go anywhere."
