This week, Steven talks to renowned street artists, Temper, most prolific in the advancement of spray paint photorealism in the United Kingdom. He was the first graffiti artist to create a conceptual collection on canvas and revolutionalised portraiture in popular culture globally with his "The Good Die Young" concept and collection in 2002.
In this groundbreaking and highly exclusive interview, Temper discusses his doctorate in art, and the vital part he has played in the establishing of graffiti as a legitimate art form.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There has been a cross-pollination of graffiti into street art, which has subsequently shifted into a more commercialised form, which has led to collaborations with larger organisations.
Larger corporations investing in street art and graffiti, allows the younger generations to own a small part of the movement, inspiring them to follow the cultural path later.
True artists hear the clarion call from the first moments of life, and spend their existence in pursuit of creation and development.
True satisfaction in our careers come from expressing ourselves artistically, and forming the messages we wish to send out into the world. What anyone else does, and how, should always be separate to our own choices.
BEST MOMENTS
'I was born an artist'
'I'm an artist firstly, then I' trying to be a human after'
'I have a conversation with each painting, and once it's finished, I move on to the next conversation'
'I've travelled around my brain like the universe'

The Steven Sulley Study
ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
