Watch the creation of the graffiti for the Tru Thoughts Anniversary box set.

The cover artwork for this anniversary box set was done on a wall next to the Tru Thoughts office in Brighton by Aroe. Aroe is a notorious Graffiti Artist who has done and continues to do many legal (and illegal) pieces around the world (from Brighton to Syria). He is a legend and his artwork regularly appears in places no one would expect, high and huge. He formed a crew called Heavy Artillery in the mid-2000’s and is also part of the respected and infamous MSK. Keep up to date with his quality artwork via his website and Instagram page: instagram.com/aroemsk.com

Tru Thoughts would like to thank Charlie Rallings at Brighton ThinkBig who has been working within the local community to open up wall spaces in Brighton as live canvases for street artists. Charlie helped secure permission for Tru Thoughts to use the wall for the cover artwork.
