An artist from the UK, residing in East London has been doing his thing for about 15 years under the name INSA – a four letter word he made up for him self back then.­ Although he doesn’t focus on graffiti too much, he feels it was an “important part of [his] life and a major influence on how [he sees] the world” and chose to keep the anonymity. If you are ever in London , you might catch a glimpse of a tear drop flame head sprayed on a wall or a train. He uses images of women’s high heel shoes to mostly symbolize in his most notable fetish pieces.

INSA has done work on almost everything. He has painted cars, vans, whole train cars, walls (of course), people, and he has even been invited to Sweden to sculpt the famous Ice Hotel. To add to his adventurous escapades, he plans to do some painting in Brazil in the new year.

After several years of painting heels on walls, INSA partnered up with fashion guru Ruth Shaw to make three leather heels with INSA inspired patterns. The shoes have been a big deal to bloggers, collectors and shoe connoisseurs.

Clearly INSA has become a graffiti culture mogul. In all his fame, he chose to remain anonymous, as the name INSA is really ‘just a creative evolution from
writing [his] name, but you can try your best to make out his blurred face on his blog, www.insaland.com/blog , or just catch him at any upcoming show.
