Just had word that the next Weapon of Choice night at Mr Wolf’s will be on the 11th of March, and, as commented here the other day, will feature Lokey and Cheo.
Top stuff!

A million pound Banksy part 2

Yes, yes, i know, i’m getting sucked into this ridiculous Banksy headline nonsense, but like most media obsessions, it is kinda interesting.
You may remember before how there was talk of the Banksy on Portabello Road being sold for a potential £1m on ebay. Of course, this was just a clever marketing trick on the part [...]

Magic and Voyder at the Golden Lion

If you’re at a loose end today, you could do worse than head up to the Golden Lion pub on the Gloucester Road (up by the Prison). Not only is the outside expertly decorated by those good gents behind the outside of Clockwork, but inside the pub, two of them, Magic and Voyder, currently have [...]

Round St Augustine’s Parade

Wandering through the centre yesterday and found some good stuff.
Now, it’s not strictly graf, and the perpetrator almost certainly doesn’t consider it ‘art’ either, but for some reason this sort of thing always cracks me up, a fag butt stuck in the statue of the horse riding (presumably grey) friar.

It’s the earnest, workmanlike look on [...]

Council graf video now up!

The Bristol City Council graffiti/tagging video is up at last on Youtube. I was planning on embedding it here for you, but they’ve bizarrely disabled embedding. And comments. And ratings. Good grief.
Luckily James Barlow’s sorted out an embeddable version of the first part, which has better tags on it and is looking more likely [...]

Interesting article

Some of you may have read this already, but, despite knowing it was going to happen, I only just found out it had happened. It’s an interesting article in the Independent on ‘Urban art’ with short interviews with people, from a Bristol perspective, like Sickboy, Sweet Toof, Cyclops and Nick Walker.
Have a read of the [...]

Weapons of Choice - Inkie and Jago

So, finally got myself along to the Weapons of Choice night tonight, after last months ridiculous gale, and it was awesome. Mr Wolf’s is a surprisingly small venue for it, and the art crowd, both successful and ‘aspiring’ were definitely out in force for it, but Inkie and Mr Jago didn’t let us down.
Here’s the [...]

Weapons of Choice - Tonight

Just a reminder for you all, the second Weapons of Choice live painting night featuring Inkie and Mr Jago is tonight down at Mr Wolfs. Be there, it’ll be ace!

Upper Byron Place, Bristol

Just a short little road this, running up to Brandon Hill from the Triangle. Hardly any tagging, but a few little stencils.
Down the bottom is this slightly abstract stencil, some crouching dood in negative

Just by it, some life advice in stencil format.

This is further up the road still, quite like this one, though could have [...]

Some updates…

Been a couple of further developments on stories reported here previously which i thought i’d share with you, as fact into doubt won’t go.
First of all, ‘Bristol graf DVD’ facebook group has now been setup, for those of you on facebook, you can find it at - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7307114716 . Only three members at the time [...]
