And there’s more

While I love Shok-1′s recent monochrome fixation the colour in this latest piece really makes the image ‘pop’ off the wall. Shok claims that he’s only working his way back to full colour at present so expect more hues to creep in on the next …

More Shok-1 on the streets of London

Loving this punker on the side of Shok-1′s latest vehicle makeover. The vehicle itself is an old bus converted into a mobile tattooing parlour and if you get a chance to see it in person check out the amazing level of detail.

Alphabet Street

Been a while since the last post. Partly because I’ve been taking a bit of time out and partly because there’s been nothing going on. Well, except for Eine painting an entire new alphabet in just one street! Lower case all the way, it turns a road off …

There is a Fourth Way – Vote Toaster

It’s election day tomorrow where we get the chance to put an X in a box to choose between the Conservative/Labour duopoly that’s been in control for all our lives (with apologies to any readers who were over 18 years old about 60 years ago). As usual w…

The Mighty Mo Line (aka The London Overground extension)

This week saw the launch of the latest section of the London Overground to go live. Running from Dalston Junction down through to New Cross it runs straight through areas like Hoxton and Shoreditch at roof top level. Which is pretty damn handy if you w…

Shok-1′s Urban Assault

It’s a work in progress but this ‘Urban Assault Vehicle’ can currently be seen turning heads on the streets of London. Shok-1′s given one of the city’s most infamous and battered vans a completely new paint job in his own organic graffiti style. T…

Banksy San Francisco street blitz

Banksy has at least six pieces in San Francisco now – thanks again to Warholian.com for the use of their pictures. These photos show both the pieces and their context which as always shows up some really relevant placement. Warholian’s Flickr stre…

VNA 11 out now

The latest copy of VNA  (verynearlyalmost) landed on the doormat this morning with a reassuring thud. Sure enough its another 100 pages of quality content with the usual great pictorial roundups of graffiti, tags, stickers, stencils and paste ups….

Escif show at Pictures On Walls

If you’ve seen Banksy’s Exit Through The Gift Shop or even just the new extended trailer for the film you’ll have seen one of the funniest moments – graffiti artist Escif getting arrested in quite ridulculous head gear while painting a wall. Other (sli…

A look around Roa’s show at the Pure Evil gallery

Roa’s work translates easily from the streets to a gallery setting and this show in the small but perfectly formed Pure Evil Gallery in Shoreditch is one of the finest I’ve seen in a long time. Featuring a pretty unique interactive element many of the …

Roa show opens at Pure Evil Gallery tonight

Over the past year Roa has been, in my humble opinion, smashing it worldwide. So its great to see that he has his first solo show in London opening on Thursday night (April 8th) at the Pure Evil Gallery.
