Interview: Mr Penfold

If you ever find yourself walking (or cycling) the streets of Cambridge city; be it alone or in a gang of punch drunk revellers, you may or may not realise that you are being watched by an unlikely collective of not-from-this-dimension-characters who ponder life from the phone boxes, bus stop shelters and street lamp battery basins of this fair city. As indelible re-creations of life peppering otherwise grey and dismal settings, these 'moments in time' bring an extra dimension to the streets and grid patterns of this university town.

London’s streets are a great platform to get noticed, that’s why everywhere you turn you end up looking at pictures of David Beckam in nothing but a pair of briefs on or that girl from Desperate Housewives telling you she's "worth it." But that’s the boring side of London street visuals: another side is graffiti and there is as much it in London as there is billboard advertising. Sweet and Sound spoke to Panik, co-founding member of world-renowned graffiti crew ATG and rooftop king about his work, rivalry in the world of street painting and why this form of art is an important way of going against the conforms of society.
