At the time when he started working with AFO crew Dulait became acquainted with the anti-style that seemed to have opened his creativity in unexpected ways. This was one of the most significant influences in his career and it will mark everything else he did afterwards.

When he got to know the old school writers from New Belgrade one of them, Cobe who later on became known as Ceger, was especially interested in anti-style as a perfect form of expression of his political bunt. Cobe started AFO (Anti Fascist Youth) and most of the writers that joined him were interested in alternative forms of graffiti expression. This was extremely beneficial for Dulajt since he could freely and with the support of others develop his unique style. As it is expected of anti-style practitioner he systematically deconstructed everything that he learned beforehand about graffiti. Firstly, he completely abandoned letter writing and concentrated exclusively on characters. And if he had used graffiti guidelines for proper technique before, now he stopped using a clear straight line. Throughout his artistic process the lines became drippy, crooked, outline as such almost disappeared and gave away in favor of mass. In this particular piece we can still see some reminiscence of his old style but these too will disappear very quickly.

We can with certainty say that he was one of the pioneers of the anti-style in Belgrade and later on when his artistic expression went beyond all our expectations, he inspired a new generation of graffiti writers and street artists who embraced anti-style as legitimate way of producing art in the streets.
