Stik’s journey is a remarkable tale of resilience, innovation, and compassion. Despite facing homelessness for over a decade, he persevered and found solace in his art. His unique style, characterised by simple but powerful stick figures, has captured the hearts of art enthusiasts and activists alike. His art has been used to raise awareness of social issues and has become an emblem of hope for marginalised communities. He has become a beloved figure in the street art scene, with his works adorning walls worldwide. Stik is an artist with a heart full of generosity and has made a remarkable impact on society by auctioning his artworks for various charitable organisations. His selfless acts of kindness have helped numerous foundations, including the NHS, Big Issue Foundation, Cardboard Citizens, ARTification and the Refugee Council, to name a few. Thanks to his contributions, these charities have made a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most. 

His signature style emerged during his early twenties when he began painting on the streets of East London. He perfected a quick and effective way of painting human figures using six lines and two dots. This simplistic style of drawing allowed him to convey emotion and capture the essence of his subjects with ease. His talent for drawing stick figures and his fascination with the Japanese calligraphic characters, or kanji, significantly developed his unique style. Despite never attending art school, he honed his skills in composition and anatomy through his work as a life model for other artists.
