Multimedia artist, designer, and founder of Kowloneon. Captivated by the dazzling brilliance of neon, Jive dedicated himself to mastering its intricate craft under the mentorship of Master Huang Shan-lo, an experienced neon sign maker. This transformative experience fueled his vision, leading him to establish Kowloneon—a dynamic studio where craftsmanship, art, and design blend seamlessly.

One of the most significant authors associated with the Czech graffiti scene. He belongs to the strong generation of writers of the 1990s and has been one of its leaders for a long time. Škapa's qualities have been proved by the fact that he has succeeded to win through also in galleries. He was one of the authors associated with the legendary Trafo Gallery in Prague, and he cooperates with Meet Factory where he has had his own studio for eleven years. As an artist, he works with various media and formats, from murals, acrylic manuscript abstraction and airbrush figurative compositions to site-specific installations and spatial objects. He also works as a graphic designer. Škapa has founded the Analog! Bros serigraphic workshop and he closely cooperates with the BiggBoss label.

Since 2004, his works have been regularly featured in exhibitions both in the Czech Republic and abroad. He has participated in several major presentations, like the unsurpassed international graffiti and street art show Names (2008), also represented the Czech Republic at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. ------
In 2020, he completed his largest mural to date, a 350-meter-long painting titled KOSMOS, located in the immediate vicinity of the Václav Havel Airport runway.
