There still plenty of room for growth in this field, but we sense we will continue to hear more about his accomplishments soon, specially since he is still working on a "major accomplishment."

Why Street Art? The largest gallery space in the world is the streets we walk. OhEnI likes the textures of different walls; each surface is a challenge and some interact different with the paint. Cinderblocks and brick are amongst his favorite types of wall. He also enjoys working on raw concrete.

Obstacles: One of the major obstacles our artist faces is keeping it fresh, and staying up with other current street art. There are simply too many good artists! Even with today's variety of challenges, money continues to be one of the stronger obstacles. As we all know, painting comes with a heavy price tag. Another obstacle OhEnI often finds trouble with are people who don't understand what he does.
