Career

Street Pasting

Morley's work vacillates between confessional, encouraging and humorous. He has said that his motivation for drawing himself in each of his pieces was to create a less anonymous relationship with the viewer and one of developed friendship. His honesty extends to the blog, where he posts photos of his work along with stories and anecdotes. ^[2]
