UK Skyhigh, a prominent urban artist whose real name is Tom, has been a significant figure in the London graffiti scene since he began writing in 1997. What started as simply tagging his name on walls has blossomed into a full time career, with his versatile work transforming urban landscapes into vibrant canvases that blend traditional graffiti with street art elements. His work is instantly recognizable due to two main recurring styles: first, a mastery of elaborate lettering full of color, unique shapes, and harmonious styles; and second, the incorporation of photorealistic animals, such as a striking kingfisher or fox, either as standalone pieces or integrated within his typographical works.

Beyond his individual artistic output, Skyhigh is deeply committed to community engagement and curating public art spaces in his hometown. He has facilitated over 150 street art pieces, offering canvases to artists from around the world and helping aspiring creators gain exposure, all while beautifying local streets with a rich diversity of artworks. During the coronavirus pandemic, he used his platform and art to create public service murals, including one at Fairfield Recreation Ground in Kingston that reinforced the "Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives" message. This focus on promoting the importance of accessible art spaces highlights his belief in the power of art within the community. His legacy continues to grow as he leaves a lasting impact on public spaces across London and beyond.
