Introducing the men behind ‘Express Yourself Every Day’

We’ve scoured the planet and identified three champions of self expression from around the world. We’ll be bringing videos, interviews and even offering you the chance to speak with the men behind “Express Yourself Every Day” in the coming months. In the meantime, here’s a little intro into what we’ve got in store.

Jeremy White

Jeremy White is a 24 year-old sign spinner based in Los Angeles. Jeremy got his first gig holding signs for a couple of bucks an hour as a teenager but his boss never told him how he had to do it. After a while Jeremy started experimenting with more exciting ways of sign holding. This led him to start freestyle spinning and break dancing with his sign as a way of expressing his personality while he worked. His outrageous moves didn’t go unnoticed and he was eventually spotted and employed by one of the founders of the sign spinning movement. Jeremy has a really unique spinning style – he’s intuitive and moves like a dancer and has a swagger and extra bit of je ne sais quoi that his contemporaries lack.

Matt Mili

Matt Mili is a community farmer in Brooklyn, New York. But once he’s done with the day job, Matt puts his green fingers to a more imaginative use by transforming hidden corners of his neighbourhood into urban oases using plants. Whether it be planting bulbs in skips or sunflowers in the gutter, Matt’s only mission is to express himself in a creative and imaginative way and to inspire other people to express themselves too. Matt is part of the guerrilla gardening scene, a group men and women who wait until the dead of night before they start cultivating their cities for all it’s worth.

Timm Schneider

Timm is a freelance graphic designer from Frankfurt who creates intriguing urban intervention artworks with the use of balloons and ping pong balls on his way to work or when out and about in his everyday life. By adding eyes to random everyday objects, Timm creates friendly faces in an otherwise quite sterile and dull city environment.

Timm started adding eyes to inanimate objects as way of expressing himself in a way that made his surroundings a more inspiring place to be and his walk to work more fun.
