Easer One was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia, in the early 80's. He was raised in West Vancouver and learned what it meant to be a problem. He showed interest in drawing from a very early age. As he grew older his artwork became his passion. He was introduced to graffiti in high school, and took on the name 'Easer'. Meaning simply 'Easier'. Graffiti was not a popular activity in his hometown and he quickly earned a reputation with the police. Unfazed he pressed on. He moved from Vancouver to Toronto, persuing his love for graffiti. Easer was accepted into the art program at the Ontario College of Art and Design, where he studied for several years. After which he moved to Montreal briefly, before ultimately returning to the city he calls home. Since then he has steadily painted graffiti anywhere he can and remains a prolific artist in Vancouver's, ever-changing, graffiti underworld. |
