Xenz
Name : Graeme Brusby
Born : 1974 in Hull
Star sign : Scorpio
Based : London
Website : http://www.xenz.org/
Interests : Football, Nike trainers and dogs
Influences : Claude Monet, and films such as Blade Runner
Style of art : Birds and futuristic landscapes by using spray cans
Xenz started off by painting traditional graffiti and began experimenting a more freestyle approach to painting with a spray can. Eventually the typical New York graffiti letter forms that inspired him turned into fantasy worlds and dramatic sky scenes. His style has now become predominantly landscape and features birds, flowers and butterflies.
During the late 90’s he applied for Edinburgh college of art and studied textiles and it gave his work a delicate decorative edge.
Xenz now lives in London and is a pivotal member of the TCF crew. TCF crew is one of the UK’s most admired and respected graffiti collectives and also collaborates extensively with other artists all over the world.

I didn't know about Xenz, so this was an eye opener for me - I owe you one.
Followed your link and spent some time prowling through his work.
Some of his birds remind me of the (admittedly very different) photographic montages does in PhotoShop by Julie Heyward of Unreal Nature:

I'll be back to follow your blog as it grows - good luck with the Award.
