Read MoreMy name is Seb L, and I was born in Brussels in mid-1976. I grew up and lived in Ixelles for 45 years, and from the age of 8 I took drawing classes at the WB Academy (Place Wiener).
Working in a family business, I decided to take and pass a 'business degree', while keeping my eye on the pencil, the 'bic' and above all the 'bubs' (in graffiti vocabulary).
It was between 1994 and 1996 that I came up with the idea, with another friend from the neighbourhood, on a basketball pitch, of creating a crew, BUC: Besoin Urgent de Cartonner, Bruxelles Underground Corporation, and so on.
The team, the crew, grew and included Buzer, Scan, Dépare (now better known under the label 'Give Me Five'), Dars, Daer, as well as a certain Pablo Andres (aka Agent Verhaegen), Peyo (presenter at XLJ), etc.
Then the years went by, and sometimes the paths diverged... Personally, I've been working for 23 years in sectors completely different from the artistic world."
