They would get together on Sundays to hang out & paint graffiti murals because it was their hobby. Years past & artists from the collective would get private work for running graffiti workshops in youth centers & local schools in London. Cullen was asked by Merton London Borough Council to run graffiti workshops. The youth work was officially evaluated by the British Government body the DETR.[5] With hes new Endorsement by the British government Cullen left working for the railway & registered Graffiti Kings as a limited company in 2009.[6][7]Graffiti Kings employs 18 artists & they are Zomby, Dice, Gasp, Blam, Bonzai, Skore, Crok, Dep, Cage, Brave, Farkfk, Hemp, Ben, Mr Met, JAZ, Rocket01, Faunagraphic, and Brave.
