Steve Parker alias Kade SP Designed is an artist of the Australian Traditional Contemporary Art. He started with graffiti in 1989, in Victoria, Australia. When he was 13 years old he got into surfing and as his Dad was a shaper, Steve learned about surfboard design very early. Quite a few years later, when he worked as a shaper for ISLAND SURFBOARDS, Craig Hogan inspired him to do art on the boards. His first board he painted in 2001 and since then people regularly keep asking for his artworks, also internationally. Steve is one of the first artists who tested the MOLOTOW™ PREMIUM cans and the MOLOTOW™ ONE4ALL marker on the boards and he was fascinated.

SatOne is illustrator and self-employed artist in Munich, originally from Venezuela. The skilled graphic designer discovered his interest in graffiti in early life, developed
his very own style in an intensive way and found a formal vocabulary, that perpetrated a fascinating middle course between technocracy and the artwork of imaginary worlds. The figures seem futuristicabstract, still don´t miss a certain clemency by having organic forms and faces. The skilful mixture of graphic style and free acrylic elements brings suspense and opens up worlds, in which graphic design, illustration and abstract art melt into an inseparable unity. Enter his world here at Satone.de
