"When did you begin to work together?
Jana: I already was sketching and photographing all the time. Jean-Sébastien really wasn’t. But, weirdly, it was him who first demonstrated the stencil technique to me. JS: I learnt the technique in France, from the artist Artiste-Ouvrier. I had already wanted to work creatively for a long time, but I was always unlucky with my pieces. The stencil technique was perfect for me, it’s not an issue whether you can sketch or not, so long as your idea is a good one. In Madrid, I had seen this stenciled style in the Street Art all over the city; a lot of the images were done spontaneously, often with a political message..
...
Jana: The places we like the best are ones where you wouldn’t be expecting art. JS: In Paris, every wall has a piece of Street Art or a poster on it. It no longer offers up any surprises. For us, that made it an exciting challenge." - 2015 interview -

"2020 is a tough nut to crack!“ This is my official COVID-19 Painting - including masks, toilet paper, disinfectant, human beings, animals and nature. Done for @40gradurbanart in #Düsseldorf as colorful as possible to underline the scope of pandemic effects worldwide. Hope you like it. Hope it lasts a while to be a contemporary testimony to speak pathetic." @bona_berlin Aug 23, 2020

"My piece from last weeks Palestine Solidarity Jam. Portrait based on a lady named Amani Khaled. Her and her children had been displaced so,so many times. She was talking from their current camp in Rafah which is also a graveyard. We cannot begin to imagine these horrors. I feel helpless. Thank you to quality yard for letting us use the space and of course @hungrywindow for organising and galvanising us! The raffle and shop run by @familiarfaces420 raised over £2000 for @medicalaidpal in two days. This makes me feel a little more hopeful about what we can do when we come together . 🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿" @shonahardie April 13, 2024

"Arthur Williams. Leith. An absolute honour to paint. Thank you to his family for asking me to be part of this to raise awareness for mental health and homelessness. Always, but especially at this time. This year. Arthur has been off the streets and continues to be very well looked after in a care home for a number of years." @shonahardie Dec. 10, 2020

"Had a total BLAST painting this weekend @quality_yard for Leith's Pride Festival 🌈🦎 The tie-dye drove me crazy and just looked like a big messy stramash to me for ages but then when it finally came off and I started to see it I was so chuffed and relieved and could actually relax haha🙈 I think also the soft focus of it didn't work until I put the in-focus Chameleon on top 🔍 Everytime I am spraying I am learning so much and I am just loving every opportunity so thank you David @quality_yard for having me. It's such a great vibe and welcoming space down here. Cheers aswell to all the other artists, was a great crowd and some incredible pieces happening over the weekend! 😍 Here's some shots / happy face at it being ice cream weather on Saturday / colour palette / a very tie-dye weekend in general 🩷" @jcbscenic June 16, 2024

The Thinking Garden by Judi Milne @inkminxtattoos at St Nicolas Centre, The New Vestry, Back Wynd, Aberdeen, Scotland in September 2016 as part of @nuartaberdeen's Painted Doors Project in . Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
'It's called "The Thinking Garden" the idea being when you see it from a distance, it attracts you closer until you read the hidden message in the gate... "Blood sweat and tears really don't matter, just the things that we do in this garden" based on lyrics from "This Garden" by The Levellers, basically a simple mantra in life, to make sure your everyday efforts are not in vain, the Bee representing this perfectly.' @inkminxtattoos Sept 12, 2016

By Danish artist Jacoba Niepoort at Union Row, Aberdeen, Scotland in June 2022 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Jacoba’s work is grounded in her belief that connectedness facilitates a better understanding of self and others and is a powerful tool to address and change social issues.

Jacoba's mural reflects the theme of connectedness, showing three naked intertwining bodies yearning for connection. Clothes and face masks are non-existent, resulting in an ultimate physical touch, liberated finally after the constraints of the last few years. Jacoba aims for her murals to be have an impact and value to the viewer even if the interpretation is different from one person to another." https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/jacoba-niepoort-2022

"I like to have these moments where you step up and are surprised."

Otras Brujas (other witches) by Argentinian artist Milu Correch at Union Row, Aberdeen, Scotland in 2018 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"My first interest in art was my childhood books that my mom bought me, as a literature teacher, she made sure of buying good literature books for kids that usually came with the best illustrations. At the same my father started painting as a hobby when I was a kid and I’d usually painted next to him.
...
I started as a muralist following the steps of some muralists that painted in my neighborhood. I occasionally use a spray can for sketching, but my main weapons are the brush and roller.
...
Any words of advice for aspiring new artists?
Paint, paint and paint."
