The final street artist joining us at Chew the Fat! on May 29th is Farkfk.

Read the interview (below), watch the live painting, get the t-shirt.

Where the fark did the name Farkfk come from? We’re not even sure how to pronounce it.

Dude, the name comes from an old friend in Brighton. Doesn’t really mean anything, I just like the sound of it.

You’re part of the Grafik Warfare crew with Snub and did an amazing joint piece at Cans 1. How did you get to know Snub and become so tight?

Glad you like the piece at Cans due, a lot of people have said the same.

I met Snub when I moved to Brighton and we were both in the same event for the festival (I think it was 2004) and our style of painting just worked really well together. Since then we try and paint together as much as possible, though now I’m out of Brighton it’s not as often as it should be. SNUB is a legend.

You’re defining characters are a bear and Manga style Japanese girl. Can you tell us where you got these from and what significance they have?

Everyone loves the Bear, but bears are cool so that’s why I paint him. As for the Manga girls, it’s my love of Manga and Japanese women.

Fair enough! We’ve seen a pair of customised Munny’s in Montana spray cans which got a lot of attention. How did these come about? Were you officially part of the launch of the toy or just a fan to their possibilities? We notice you’ve done a number of other toys like this before. They seem to have a cult following.

I’ve always been into designer vinyl and the idea of putting the two things I’m into together seemed obvious. I wasn’t part of the launch officially but I had to be there to meet the guys from Kidrobot (keep an eye out at the end of this year for something). I’ve done a lot of custom toys over the years and they they do have a bit of a following which is awesome. Thanks to all the people that have made the effort to comment and buy them.

The top three place that you’ve painted at and why? Does getting more widely recognised for legal work make it less appealing to do illegal stuff?

Wow, top three places is tricky. Wherever you’re painting with friend has to be number one. Milan in Italy was amazing, loads of different styles all mixed together and the Italians are awesome people so that’s number two. As for number three, I would say Cans in London. Awesome space, awesome venue and loads of friends from all over the world as well.

Legal, illegal, I don’t mind. As long as the wall or whatever puts a smile on someone’s face I’d say my work is done.

Concrete Canvas featured you in their top 20 artists to watch in 2009. How has the world of street art changed since the advent of the internet? Has the added exposure made it possible to make a living from what you do?

They did indeed which was very nice of them. You can see any bit of work from around the world now because of the internet but I’m not sure if it has changed anything. Artists are just doing their thing, the internet as just made it more available for people to look at which must be a good thing.

I’m still working the nine to five like most people dude. It would be great to do this full-time. You never know, it might happen.

Is it true that you’re painting the Albert Hall in the summer? How did that project come about and did you get to choose who you’re doing?

Yes, it is true. The project came from them wanting a timeline of the people/events that have been there. It’s a very exciting project and I’m working with some good friends on it so should be fun.

I did get to choose who I’m painting but I’m not telling you so you’ll have to go down and check it in June.

What do you do to relax when you’re not painting?

Paint some toys, maybe have a few JD and Cokes and hang out with friends… the usual really.
