"Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that
they're giving none away."
Roger Waters

Ludo grew up in the suburbs of Paris and then came to Paris at 18 to go to college. Having trouble just listening to a professor without doing anything, he wanted a change of air and went to Italy with just a backpack. Then, after seeing what he wanted, he decided that he belonged to an art school. When asked what reaction Ludo hopes to derive from people, he answered, "a certain humility, [for them to] recognize that some things are beyond us and that we must respect what we are offered. Nature is one of the things that we have completely neglected because of our pride or our ego and which we have to deal with now. I started street art later with the simple desire to express something personal without any pretense."
He's most famous for his series titled, "Nature's Revenge."
