He is adept in working in various mediums such as acrylic, spray paint, various inks, oils, water color etc. Defer is well known for expertly rendering beautifully complex letter-forms. His works on canvas have been displayed in various museums and galleries including “Street Cred” at the PMCA (Pasadena Museum of California Art) and “Bridging Homeboy Industries” at OTIS College of Design’s Ben Maltz Gallery. He has been featured in numerous publications including Art in America, Los Angeles TImes, The History of American Graffiti. He is also featured in the Discovery Channel show “Rods and Wheels”.
