Nick Walker show - the review

So, after a slight delay, here’s what went on yesterday. In a nutshell, Nick Walker, long time Bristol graf artist, had a show in trendy Shoreditch, which, given the huge buzz about him at the moment, promised to be absolutely bonkers, and didn’t disappoint.

Nick Walker show tonight

So, just back from the Nick Walker show at Black Rat Press. It was wicked, the art was all kinds of good, and got some awesome photos to share with you all. But you may have to wait a short while, as it’s stupidly late, and a school night.

Bonhams contemporary art auction - the results!

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 [...]

Graffle night review

So tonight was the Graffle draw night, and they’d certainly done well in the final choice of venue! Posh as you like, and a window outside had pleasingly been expertly decorated by Mr Jago. My camera did two shots of this, not sure which is better to be honest, so here’s the flash and non [...]

Pro-cathedral Lane, Bristol - Part 2

So, as promised, here’s the second half of the graf stuffed museum like alley of Pro-cathedral lane!
A transformers style robot with the legend ’steal’. There were a few pieces with ’steal’ on around back in about 2002 or thereabouts, remember one down by the council house at the bottom of park street, long gone now [...]
