He gave away works to friends, but built up an excess and left them wrapped in bin liners outside charity shops as a donation. When he discovered that they were not being sold, but thrown out with the rubbish, he started to leave them in the streets instead, with works leaning on lampposts, doors and wheelie bins, as an open exhibition. He could produce around 20 paintings a night, and around 1,000 a year. Over a five year period, he left thousands of his works in London streets.
