Born in Almagro, Spain and currently working out of Amsterdam, street artist Skount has showcased his incredible work on walls around the world. A prolific graffiti artist in Barcelona, he moved from Spain in 2009. While often collaborating with other graffiti and street artists, Skount’s work is much more illustration and character-based than lettering or typography. His characters are highly detailed and quite vibrant, showcasing his breadth of artistic skills.

Enjoy the small sample of his work below and be sure to check out his blog for his latest work: http://skount-works.blogspot.com/!

“Dreams are not just a message (a coded message, at that), but also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination that has its own value. Dreams are proof that fantasies–emotional immersion in the visualization of events that have never and may never occur– are one of the profoundest necessities for human life…The characters that come from my imagination are my own possibilities, those that never came to bear, or those still on my horizon…” – Source: Zoe in Wonderland
