greed1 in Linden Street, Hayes Valley (part 2/4)

[back to the start]

greed1 is proud of the time and effort he puts into his pieces.

"It's a completely organic process", he explains "and I make as much as I can myself. I use recycled parcel paper for the base, and I make my own special paste - I even make my own ink from bong resin."

"Must be a lot of work. I didn't realise that even the bigger pieces are made up from smaller pieces layered together."

"Yeah, this is made up from over 300 individual pieces. It took me over 8 hours to make them."

"Crazy. How much planning does this take?"

"The only time you'll see me measuring with tape is just to get me started. Other than that, I measure approximately -", he says, stretching his arms out and sidestepping to demonstrate the technique "-and then I lay stuff out by hand. Sometimes I get it a bit wrong - the megaman I made the other day was too tall and I had to fold the top of his head over the wall here."

On to part 3.
