Mr. Boom Box

Kid Acne began painting graffiti at the age of twelve inspired by its infinite scale, colour and immediacy. Applying the same DIY ethos to the rest of his output, he spent his teenage years creating underground fanzines and releasing limited run 7″s on his own Invisible Spies imprint. Nowadays, his work can be seen throughout the globe – in wheatpastes and rap-sprays from New York to Azerbaijan. His signature style of illustrations have furnished products for the world’s leading brands, while the man himself continues to paint epic slogans in sub-zero temperatues. And he still has acne. Montana Colors (MTN) is a producer/brand for spraypaint, located in Spain. The company was started 1994 by Jordi Rubio and Miquel Galea, with the help of local writers Kapi and Moockie. They are the original Montana paint, collaborting with a lot of artists, setting up their own shops to support the scene etc.
