I got an inbox from ATOME last week on Instagram and my day was instantly made. I’ve been a fan of his work since the Australian INfront days (a design community I used to run in the early 2000’s). He’s an OG who’s been writing since the 80’s. A true living legend and legit one of the most famous Australian Graffiti Writers of all time.
We talked cars, bikes and art and the opportunity to do a “Find Your ZEN” feature on him was too good to pass up. Turns out ATOME (AKA Minky) was finishing up an 11-piece series in Fairfield. He invited me out for an early 6AM start to finally meet face to face as well as grab some shots. What a champ, super chill, crazy talented, humble and no doubt about it the dude has found his ZEN.
Look out for his full feature on ZEN Blog soon!
