Street Art: “My drawing feels more technical than artistic”

The Big Issue’s Street Art page gives talented, marginalised individuals an outlet for creative expression

‘Ghost Ship’
By Steven McIntosh

“My drawing feels more technical than artistic,” says frequent Street Art contributor Steve, who submits his work via the 240 Project, a London arts and activity centre for people affected by homelessness. “Puzzles, crosswords and historical facts influence my thoughts and occupy my time, though my work comes from my imagination. I don’t feel in any rush when working, just take my time, each line is considered, not instinctive.”
