Online blog / magazine The Wild Styles have just released an interview w/ Skam Dust.
Some excerpts:

“TWS: You do a lot of projects together with legendary graff artist MQ. How far back do you guys go and how did you meet..

From that point on we became partners in graffiti. MQ didn’t want to get Hoya in trouble so we would leave him behind when we went bombing.”…
