Around 4am on November the 29th 2004, I was taken into custody by Montreal Police after having been caught ‘red handed‘ (or in my case "yellow handed" as I was using yellow paint that night) in the act of painting a Christmas ribbon at the intersection of Rachel and St. Denis, Montreal, Quebec.

aka R-ash... has always been in close contact with street art since 2005 going out with A1one and being close to Kolahstudio outdoor art projects beside indoor research projects.

Since the early 1990s, my work has involved the creation of conceptually based sociopolitical screen-printed posters, imagery and art activism. I embrace the hand of the artist and technology — carrying this philosophy through my process. In my work, I comment on the American dream and the subsequent gap between it and reality. My
work also addresses racial identity, pop culture, politics and underlying social behaviors historical and current which continue to shape American society.
