Dating & Relationship Status
There is limited information available about their personal relationship status. They are often highlighted for their professional collaborations rather than personal relationships.
Danielle E. Her mother worked as a Bayside high school teacher, and her father as a New York City policeman. She says she grew up around graffiti as part of the New York City landscape.
He had two brothers and one sister; their father, Jim Clay Harper V, who worked as a stockbroker at Morgan Stanley, died in 2004. He says he grew up across from the Linden Yard and would observe the nightly graffiti on the cars. Harper posted abstract art on web sites, including one with graffiti tags. In 2001, Harper used the alias "Merlin", and said he had one year experience in graphic design and two in Web design. He started doing graffiti while a student at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He became part of the MUL ("Made You Look") graffiti crew, based in Chicago but including members in several states. He used the graffiti tag "Ether".
In May 2008, Bremner and Harper, now her boyfriend, went on a three month, multi-country "graffiti spree" across Europe. They put their graffiti tags, "Ether" and "Dani" or "Utah", on train cars in London, Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt, and Hamburg. In their absence, in July, police searched Bremner's Woodside, Queens, apartment and found over 450 cans of spray paint and both Polaroid and digital photographs of her tags on New York City Subway trains. When the pair returned to the United States in August, they were each arrested upon landing, Bremner in Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, and Harper at JFK International Airport in New York City. They faced charges for $100,000 in graffiti damages in four of the five boroughs of New York City, including subway yards in Harlem and Inwood, Manhattan, and 20 counts of vandalism in The Bronx. After this arrest, Newsday labelled them "the Bonnie and Clyde of the graffiti world", a sobriquet that would be later repeated by numerous other sources.
From 2011 to 2016, Utah and Ether had left graffiti on trains and walls in more than 30 countries in Africa, Europe and Asia. In April 2016, Utah and Ether flew in to Melbourne from the United Arab Emirates, and within days began to create graffiti murals. On May 4, Ether, with an Australian graffiti artist going by Nokier, were seen putting graffiti stickers on shop fronts on Brunswick Street, Melbourne by a single father from Fitzroy, Victoria. The man asked them to stop, and filmed their actions with a mobile phone, which the pair then tried to take away from him. In the struggle, the phone pocket-dialed the man's sister, who called police. When police arrived, Ether was in a headlock, but Nokier got away. Ether was found with a knife, and charged with multiple counts related to the assault, vandalism of the Brunswick Street shops, and of trains in four Melbourne suburbs. On May 31, he was jailed for six months. Police had staked out Melbourne Airport for Utah and Nokier, who had checked in for a flight departing there on May 30, but the two instead flew from Brisbane to Hong Kong.

One video showed them painting Hong Kong's MTR trains on what is believed to be three separate occasions, in 2011, 2012, and 2015, entering the depots after cutting through razor wire. The vandalism caused upgrades in fencing, patrols, and surveillance. Another showed breaking in and painting a Taiwan train at the Beitou depot near Fuxinggang metro station. Yet another video shows the pair cutting through wire fences and painting Singapore's SMRT Trains at Bishan Depot in August 2011 with the words "Jet Setters". The book further explained that they staked out the depot overnight, and noted the staff going home at 1:30 am. This was only the second time the SMRT had ever been painted. The vandalism drew Singaporean news coverage, and cost a $200,000 fine for SMRT Corporation that year, but its perpetrators and method were not known until the video and book were released in 2016.

In May 2011, Utah and Ether broke their probation by leaving the United States to fly to India. Over the next five years, they left their graffiti tags in Israel, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Japan, China, Georgia, Portugal, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Turkey, Chile, and Argentina, all documented with photos and videos on their website, Vimeo channel, and Instagram account. They were compiling their next book, Probation Vacation: Lost in Asia.

Probation Vacation: Lost in Asia was released as a limited edition book and series of 12 freely available videos in May 2016, after Ether's arrest. It covered 11 countries and 37 cities. In an interview about the work, Utah said, "The illegality of what we do is more appealing and important than the art itself... some of my favorite experiences with graffiti, some of our best photos and footage and memories don't even involve actual painting but more so the action surrounding it." Ether said "I like to look at the way we live our lives as art. The series that we work on ... are simply an extension of that."

In 2006, Bremner was a student at York University in Toronto, when she was arrested, twice, for graffiti, in association with a male student from the Ontario College of Art and Design. In May, the pair were arrested in Boston with 45 cans of spray paint, for painting graffiti on the side of multiple buildings. In June, they were arrested after a 100 metre/yard chase at Toronto's Davisville Yard, where they painted trains belonging to the Toronto Transit Commission. The arresting officer said that the mural at the Davisville Yard looked good: "It was very colourful, very well-defined, and not sloppy at all. It was well-planned art." She was convicted and paid restitution for both cases.
In 2008, Bremner was a student at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. Newsday sources considered Bremner the most active female graffiti tagger in New York City and possibly the country. Her graffiti tags varied between "Utah", "Dani", and "Erin".
