Jetwash Resistant Graffiti…

A reader’s sent these photos in, and whilst they’re not strictly speaking graf, really love them.

Basically, the guy’s recently finished training to be a stone mason, and rather than carving gargoyles, flying buttresses and whatever else, he’s been working on carving graf into stone, rather than painting it onto it.

He’s up for meeting writers [...]

New Park Street Piece

Thanks to Lance Igloo for the heads up on this one, a new piece on Park Street. Cross between a stencil and cutting political commentary, or something, with a touch of the multi media going on too, thanks to the paper notes coming out of it.

Seemingly unattributed so far, but you can make your guesses. [...]

Xenz ‘Unforscenery’ Show Interview

With his new show ‘Unforscenery‘ opening at the Forster Gallery in trendy Shoreditch on Thursday night, things are hardly quiet for Xenz at the moment. So very happy the man’s been good enough to spare a while to share some thoughts with the blog about his show, his work, recession, festivals and forthcoming stadium tours. [...]

Going to be launched properly at the upcoming Royal West of England Academy show in March (must blog that properly soon), but for now the first 10 [...]

Weapon Of Choice February

A quick heads up for the next Weapon of Choice in February, it’s going to be Jeffrow and Jody. Those with a memory, or who’ve been reading the excellent ‘Children of the Can‘, will spot that this could be a pretty interesting night. Not one to miss.

Wanna Paint A Merc?

Back last autumn, someone got in touch looking for people to paint up their mercedes (car painting seems to be a pretty regular request).
Anyway, glad to be of help, sent over some suggestions, and just heard back that the back of the car’s now been done by 3rd Eye and Dan.
3rd Eye on the side.

Dan [...]

Clare Road, Cotham

Digging in the crates of late has turned up some interesting old stuff that needs sorting out a bit more before blogging, rather than just chucking it out randomly. Anyway, noticed this photo taken last summer as well, which is the same stencil that appears a fair bit in photos from 99/00 or so.

Interesting what [...]

Soker, Cheo And Ziml, Jamaica Street

Always a mixed bag these big boards at the end of Jamaica Street, a bit towards the ’street/community art’ sides of things at times, but what’s gone up over the weekend is pretty tidy…

Soker on the left…

…Cheo in the middle…

…and Ziml on the right.

There’s a better one stitched together over on Cheo’s Flickr too if [...]

Something else spotted by Bristol Traffic round the same time and blogged about here, a load of [...]
