"""I first discovered Mau Mau in 2001 when I saw his artwork on Rodney P's album cover and immediately realised I needed to work with him. His style is unique and his art always thought-provoking. His work is often inspired by environmental and political activism with a heavy dose of reggae. He truly is a master of his craft. Quietly modest, always great."" Gav Lawson (THTC Clothing)"
