Not A Penny Off The Pay – Show Preview

Just got back from the bottom end of Stokes Croft, where a huge amount of work’s going into getting the ‘Not A Penny Off The Pay, Not A Second On The Day‘ show put together for tomorrow night’s opening. It’s a brilliant space for it, and whilst not all of the artist’s work has arrived [...]

Fake Banksy in London

Following on from yesterday’s story, found this today on t’interweb. Now, i’m posting it here with the complete and utter disclaimer that it might all be a big hoax (about a hoax), but still, it’s funny, and if true, proves a point…
Apparently, according to the news, Banksy is backing Ken Livingstone in the London mayoral [...]

Close up

Sweet Toof, Cyclops, Rowdy, Brick Lane, London

Came across these bits when in London a couple of week back, lovely big Sweet Toof, Cyclops and Rowdy piece, wasn’t there last time i wandered past i’m sure.

A summer of shows

The more you blog, the more of them you find it seems. Got lots of show news coming up, but to kick it off, here’s a little heads up for the Capsule Creative Suite, down in the wilds of Frome, Somerset.
They’ve got a whole summer of shows coming up by the looks of things, with [...]

Path between the Fosseway and Saville Place, Clifton

There’s a funny little lane running between the Fosseway and Saville Place in Clifton, a prime spot for graf, and was sure i could remember some good stuff there, so went and checked it out the other day.
Sadly, seems i was either misremembering, or a lot of it’s gone now.
Still, for those of you that [...]

Anyway, really pleased to have these, sent over by Graham Paris, they’re some photos of TCF and Bristol related graf pieces done at Glastonbury Festival over the years, including a bit of Banksy that you may [...]

Swung by there just after midday to check out what was going [...]
