Thabeat Valera aka Homemadein / Barcelona, 1991



< The oral form of David is Thabeat Valera. Born in 1974. Starts in 1987 with an instrument called a stylus. Learns the noble craft from the hands of Pedro Valera and Rafael Auraleón.



In 1991 takes part actively on the streets of Barcelona drawing the stroke or the fingerprints of his own marker. A cheap common resource; underground, homemade, pernicious and simple. To sum up, just idonius. He's evolution as a graffiti writer it is still on the walkside, experimenting without boundaries and different techniques.



In 1993 everything else does it himself. Adds to his works a new space, a countertext. It turns out to be under bold uncommon perspectives, a game with a shortage of colours, with deep inclined plane points of view.



Ilustrator on every medium and space. Artwork to jazz vinyl covers. One painting is the album cover from F*Champs is the EP New Born (7 inches), Cracktown / Arkestra, 2008. www.arkestra.net



Two paintings of Clutchy Hopkins is the album cover The Story Teller (LP/CD), Ubiquity Records, 2010. www.ubiquityrecords.com



From an aesthetic effect product to a forbidden place. He also takes part on all kinds of single and collective expositions. From Homemade In (1991) to Hijos del graffiti (2010). With a little space for irony, chance and provocation.



Stars buying records in 1987. Starts mixing and scratching, live sessions and making mixtapes in 1993. And he is member of jazz vinyl consortium Upper Egypt Series.
