Beyond Vandalism: Why Mach Still Paints | Episode 30: Mach

In this episode, we have the pleasure of watching Mach’s fast hands at work as he lays down a burner. A writer whose journey through graffiti started early and never let go, Mach is a long-time member of Sydney’s KGB crew. From tagging with his friends in school to finding his voice through letter forms and style, Mach shares how graffiti shaped his path and perspective. He speaks openly about the way graffiti is viewed by the public — often reduced to vandalism by the media — and how those perceptions miss the deeper truth: this is a culture driven by connection, creativity, and purpose.
