Crowd wanted to support and highlight some of the phenomenal artistic talent that resides within our island. Jo from Crowd first met sterone1 at the 2 day Pop Up Shop in St. Peter Port last year. She was so enthused by his passion and talent that she bought some amazing original pieces that now adorn her home.

We decided to support Sterone1 by interviewing him as he created another original piece, which he very kindly gifted to Crowd. The important points to take from this interview are that as an individual artist, or part of a collective, social technology allows you to get exposure and reach at a global level.
The canvas takes pride of place in the Crowd office, and we hope this inspires other young creative entrepreneurs to see their dream through.
We would like to thank sterone1 for his time and would ask that if you love his work as much as we do, you share this interview, seek him out on Twitter and Facebook and generally high five him all round.
sterone1 is graffiti/freelance artist and one of the founders of The Throw Up Krew, an Urban Art & Music collective based in Guernsey. The Throw Up Krew is a non-profit organisation which aims to help out young artists trying to get their name heard in Guernsey.
The track you can hear in the background was produced by local artist Ooko, you can check out more of his work on his Facebook page.
