“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.”
