Mysterious Al
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mysterious Al is an artist born in London in 1979. Is an artist / illustrator living and working in London. Mysterious Al was one of the first of a new generation of graffiti artists known as 'street artists' who apply their work in public spaces through medium such as stickers, wheat paste and marker drawings, as opposed to aerosol based graffiti art.
Mysterious Al created artworks independently and as part of a collective known as the Finders Keepers Crew. The crew, often called the FKC were famous for their illegal street gallery shows across Europe, encouraging artists to create artworks from street garbage and give it away at public events.
In recent years Mysterious Al has been less active in street art, concentrating more on animation and other non street-art related projects [1], including collaborations with UK hip-hop photographer Jeff Metal.
In addition to his personal work, Mysterious Al has produced work for a range of related companies such as Levi's, MTV, Eastpak, Boxfresh, BBC, and Carhartt.
