Scotty Brave started drawing graffiti art in 1987. He graduated from university in London in the 90’s with a Graphic Design degree. By his late teens he had become one of the pioneers of delivering spray-can-art workshops in the UK. He has been an a consistently active contributor to the scence for 20+ years.


Scott trained & worked as a detached youth-worker running hundreds of spraycan art workshops & events for schools & youth-clubs, secure-units, prisons & PRUs; pioneering spray-can-art within education. 
 
During the 90’s & the 00’s his work was regularly published in international graffiti journal ‘Graphotism’,
as well as being published in several landkmark books about the culture.

Whilst working commercially Scott has also continued to paint hundreds of pieces hidden from the public & only seen by other graffiti artists, urban explorers or trespassers!
Many of his most notable pieces were created & destroyed within a week.
 
The renewable nature his art is something Scott has been reflecting on recently & he is currently exploring where his work & his experiences sit within the flourishing street art scene.
