He started sketching at the age of 7 as an activity to keep himself happy. In next two years he started drawing pictures with more details, by copying images from the book of [[Clip art]], which his father brought for him, as well as from different books and magazines. He has never been to any art school and learned to draw on his own. |
|||
Sanki has been a student of [[Hip Hop]] from the age of 10. He started doing Parkour & Bboying in June 2006 & started graffiti sometime in 2007.Living in a country where hip hop culture is not present in its pure form, sanki grew up surrounded with people who had been doing graffiti for years but kept it to themselves and did not care about promoting graffiti as a form of art, & just did it to destroy private and govt. properties or to get known around the block by tagging walls with abusive material. So at the early stage of his graffiti career, sanki started promoting graffiti in and out of Pakistan through various sources on internet, before he would start painting walls in September 2010. |
