Their joint project ” Layer Cake ” is based on the idea of the Graffiti proscribed ” Going overs ” , the painting over the work of a another artist . In tacit agreement they paint layer to layer exciting compositions, which indeed are all based on a graffiti level but combine Christian graphical style with Patricks Calligraffiti work.
