One of the most unique features about Futura's work was his abstract approach to his style of graffiti. The primary focus of the average subway artist was lettering. Futura displayed a much broader focus; he mastered the ability to create interstellar scenes that set him apart from his peers. Futura's aerosol strokes could be as thin as the fine lines achieved only through the use of an airbrush.

In the past his most prolific areas of work has been as an illustrator/designer of record sleeves, first becoming involved with The Clash; producing a sleeve for their Radio Clash 7" single and handwriting the sleeve notes and lyrics sheet for their LP Combat Rock.

Years later James Lavelle resurrected his career by getting him, to produce the artwork for several releases on Mo' Wax records, this also led to Futura producing the imagery which has largely defined James Lavelle's UNKLE project.

Recently much of Futura's artwork is channelled towards the production of highly collectible toys, and during the 1990's he was heavily involved with the clothing companies such as Subware, Phillie Blunt, Nike, and GFS.
