He moved south about one week ago and has already completed a commission for a mural on a bus.
While driving in Caversham he passed the bus covered in tagging and offered its owner, Peter Hughes, a mural to prevent taggers vandalising it again.
Mr Wilson said there were five rules of graffiti relating to respect for property and artists - do not tag churches; do not tag houses; "throw ups" ("bubbly writing") can go over a tag; a piece which is five colours or more can go over a "throw up"; a mural with 10 to 30 colours can go over a piece.
After learning of Mr Hughes' passion for running, Mr Wilson incorporated it into the mural with the words "run for dreams" emblazoned on the side.
"There is a message here for everybody," he said.
Having changed his ways from being a tagger to a graffiti artist interested in prevention, Mr Wilson was looking for more work to help get on his feet in a new city.
"I hope to see my stuff around Dunedin more because it's about keeping it beautiful."
