Hi, I’m Reas, and I’m based in Yogyakarta. I first started writing back in 2014, exploring graffiti styles and experimenting with different approaches, from creating pieces and characters to learning about tagging. At the time, I was really into making digital tags in my own style, drawing inspiration from streetwear brands and hip-hop album covers.
Things started to pick up in 2022 when I became more active and really focused on tagging. I got hooked on calligraphy-style tagging and began applying it to all kinds of media. It’s something I’ve stuck with ever since, and it’s been an amazing creative journey.
Some of my biggest inspirations are Faust, Aches, and Sicoer. Their styles have definitely influenced my work and pushed me to keep evolving and experimenting.
