So, could all you readers do me a favour? Publically raise your first friday pint glass, or other mood [...]

Oddly enough, both of these ones happen on the same day, 3rd April, in the same city, London.

Tribeone - Very random…

So i was walking down the Christmas Steps again today, not something i often do, and came across a guy painting some boards outside a shop front with some cans and stencils.

The new Jamaica Street piece, finished!

Blogged this before when it was halfway through, but now looking a lot more finished, here’s the new piece on Jamaica Street. Heard talk that it was a bit of a community project, a collaboration between artists and people new to it, certainly seems to be what it’s turned out as.
