»Rusl is one of my favorite graffiti artists and a true inspiration. His use of colors, attention to detail, and the dynamism in his letters are incredible. Especially his details are mind-blowing. We met in Adana, Türkiye, back in 2007, and since then, I’ve always been excited to see new pieces from him.«

»In 2003, I first met RUSL in Almere. The first thing that caught my eye was his unique style and the detailed fill-ins! When he visited me, we were already brainstorming ideas for a crew name, which showed how aligned we were from the start. After getting to know him better, I quickly asked him to join the Loveletters crew. I not only appreciated RUSL as a person but also his distinctive style, which fit perfectly with my works. He's someone you can easily collaborate with on backgrounds and excels at working in a team.
Before long, our concept walls were featured in graffiti magazines, and as a crew, we quickly earned respect due to our diversity. Each of us brought something unique to the table. While sketching, planning concepts, joking, singing, and eating together, we shared some truly great moments.
RUSL is a special person – someone you can call a friend for life. He's hardworking, incredibly talented, and a true all-round artist.«

»When we invited RUSL to the mural festival organized in my hometown Košice, Slovakia, back in 2009, I was deeply inspired by his attention to detail, hard work, and painting techniques. I was also impressed by his personality, as he is one of the nicest stylewriters I’ve met, and I’m glad we’ve been friends ever since.«
