Old faithful

Moving up the property ladder's too consuming!! So here's a nice photo of the treasure at the end of one of Banksy's white line trails --> this one's in Shoreditch or at least it was a while ago!

[Banksy - March 2006]

proper graffittism

Just under the Royal Festival Hall in London's South Bank is a concrete pit usually occupied by skateboard-wielding teenagers with aggressive acne. Unless it's a rainy Monday afternoon in September. In which case the tagged-into-oblivion walls can been seen to have occasional flashes of beauty, like these babies.

Doppelganger

Dolk (sic) is pretty prolific in my corner of Berlin-Kreuzberg. His style is easy to spot and not a million miles away from our poster-boy Banksy.

Banksy strikes again, again

Headphonesex has an update on the new Banksy show in LA, which seems to be a mix of new and old stuff.

What's happened to all the stickerart in London? Well I reckon this guy is responsible. (Covent Garden)
Find and destroy him and the capital will be saved!

Punk's Not Death

I first saw this at the base of Prague castle about 6 or 7 years ago. It’s still there and it still makes no sense. It does, however, pretty accurately sum up modern Prague: an adoration of out of date ideas and movements with little or no understanding of what the original might have been about – especially if that original was a bit shit in the first place (therefore Prague bars and clubs only play: punk, ska, 60s rock covers and, if you’re lucky, jungle). Harsh, I know, but true.

Worship the Light/Worship the Dark

As seen at the Bartlett Gallery in Bethnal Green, work of featured artist Stephen Dunne. The pieces have a hearty horror to them. Zomboid spectres glaring out at you with fiendish glee, crimson skulls piled high like Christmas in Valhalla . A Torquemada toytown of ghouls and gore. Come one, come all to the Grindhouse Guignol.

Son of Sumo

Spotted this chubby fella lurking outside the HSBC on Tottenham Court Road. Looks like he's up to no good in his skimpy pee strainers and matching trainers.

for your eyes only

these pensive eyes peep at me when I'm out and about in Angel... this particular pair was buffed some time ago but there are still plenty around to keep an eye on you! (I loved the placement of this, very aesthetically pleasing!)

[Angel - July 2006]

Fimo face

Part of an exhibition of work at a friend's new gallery in Bethnal Green, this is by a guy called Patrick Coyle.
