Maser / KrookedType
Maser first started painting graffiti in Ireland in 1995 and very quickly created quite an impression on the established scene with his innovative letter styles, characters and photo realism. It is fair to say he is the most well rounded graffiti artist at work in Ireland today with a capacity to do everything from quickly executed simple pieces to full colour work, characters and full scale cooperative projects with themed backgrounds and concepts.
We’ve been long time friends with Maser ever since he started painting so we were delighted when he commisioned us to build his website. The brief was simple. Literally. “Keep it clean, keep it white, let the pictures do the talking”.
Maser provided use with a minimalist design that was implemented exactly as it was given to us. What we brought to the mix was an ultra-simple way for Maser to upload and organise his photos using a simple file uploading process that allowed for batch image uploads quickly and easily. This was developed in consultation with Maser and was duplicated for his KrookedType collective website at www.krookedtype.com
Maser is a member of the TDA Klann, Foes Crew and T.N.B. The TDA Klann, formed in 1991 are Ireland’s premier graffiti crew. Their focus on creating unique writing styles has earned them international acclaim and respect.
Since 1993, they’ve been running Ireland’s first and only annual graffiti festival and front a movement for emerging artists encouraging and assisting up and coming artists and promoting graffiti in a positive light.
