Stick It With Mute Proheroes

Yunani. Macan jangan berpikir bahwa negara ini bermasalah dengan ekonominya saja. Masih banyak potensi yang kita tahu dari Negeri Dewa Dewi ini. Sebut saja Zeus, Kuil Parthenon, Hercules bahkan sampai jawara Piala Eropa 2014. Tapi kita tidak akan membahas tentang itu. Kami akan mengenalkan pada macan seorang sticker artist bernama Mute Proheroes, seperti apa kisahnya? Simak!

Please introduce yourself.
Mute aka Pro Heroes, born in Greece, graduated from the graphic arts school, and is addicted to paper and color. "Stuck" with the sticker art and illustration around 2014. Two years later, the classic astronaut sticker has traveled almost all over the world.


What's the story behind your street art name?
The name, "Mute", came by chance, I liked the combination of letters. "Professional Heroes" shows the need that the world needs heroes. I made it a profession!


How is the sticker scene in your city or country?
Sticker scene in Greece, unfortunately, is not very popular yet. I do not know many people that are into it. Graffiti ,on the other hand, is high level and Greeks have a worldwide reputation.


How you make your artworks, using what kind of technique?
I design them digitally only with my Wacom. I am addicted with Illustrator paths but I also detest straight lines.

How did you play with your stickers on the streets, did you quite often make a collaboration?
Usually, when I go out in the morning, I always carry stickers with me and when I see a good spot, I just slap one on it! As far as collaborations go, there hasn't been any yet, but any proposal is ,of course, welcomed. 



What's the most important, quantity or quality?
For me, it's always quality.

Can you share us your opinion about sticker art?
We have done some big steps forward through festivals and exhibitions and the exchange between designers have raised the level of design and quality! I believe, if this continues we can make and organize festivals similar to graffiti ones.




Terima kasih kepada Mute Proheroes yang telah berbagi ceritanya bersama kami. Dari ceritanya diatas, kita mengerti bahwa skena gambar tempel di negaranya masihlah baru, sehingga bisa dikatakan ialah hero skena stiker di negaranya. Sungguh sebuah perjuangan yang mulia. Terima kasih kawan!
