Had a bit of a fun day today, as was invited along to photograph a new piece going up on Jamaica Street as part of the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft project.
This piece was to replace the somewhat controversial ‘Tridios bank’ piece that was covered on this blog a short while ago, and will be [...]
Mr KRS has spotted this press release on the council’s website, apparently a new DVD is being published by the council to encourage the young people of Bristol to stop doing illegal graffiti. As the release says;
“The DVD aims to stimulate discussion about graffiti, increase respect for their local environment and educate young people about [...]
To another jaunt eastwards to London the other day, and came across some bits.
This worried me, down on the southbank, by one of the most famous graf locations round these parts. Not sure if they actually were removing things, couldn’t see any sign of it.
Got a photo somewhere of a stencilled Banksy tag on this [...]
Occasionally get traffic to this blog from people searching for ‘Bath Banksy’, so thought Bath may be worth a mention. Have to say, never saw a Banksy in Bath, but never went there much back in the day, and imagine the council are pretty fastidious about graf on their precious georgian vista. Fair enough in [...]
Just a couple of bits here at the moment, will have been loads more voer the years, but it seems various repaintings (not with the council’s comedy black tar paint) have left the place fairly free 0f graf traces.
At the end there’s this C’est Bon piece, not sure of the ‘22′ reference, but would be [...]
So, as mentioned on this blog before, today was the day of the latest round of ‘urban’ art auctions at Bonhams.
Interesting results, lots of Banksys sold, prints as well as originals, which didn’t used to happen much.
Think whoever got this for £82k (plus premium) got a bargain from a Banksy history point of view, this [...]
Couple of odd bits down the centre of town here. There’s not much round these parts, never was much anyway, so thought would throw them in together.
First one is what looks like a Sickboy temple on the hoardings for the new glass building going up on Broad Quay/St Augustine’s Parade. Not sure it is, but [...]
Saw a piece down Stokes Croft, originally part of the PRSC thing, had been blacked over a few days ago. Half wondered if it was a deliberate to re-do of the wall, but the paint looked oddly thick and black.
So yeah, turns out the piece had been blacked out by the council. Here’s what [...]
Thanks to Bristle KRS for spotting this really odd article in today’s Bristol Evening Post. No idea how a foreign journalist visiting a city is news, and it’s pretty much an attempt to use the word Banksy as many times as possible in today’s paper. Quite amusing really, but there are some interesting personal tales [...]
It’s not graf related as such, but found this the other day and just had to share it. It’s part one (you’ll find the other parts on Youtube) of the live session Roni Size and Reprazent did for Radio 1 at Maida Vale Studios as part of Radio 1’s 30th birthday celebrations.
It’s not too [...]
