It'll be nice to see you there if you can make it.
Got lots of amazing things to show you, a new collection of work, some prints, 12 months worth of studio work, projected animations and a rather special installation...

Show runs from 24th April until 7th May

Swiss Embassy Graffiti Party

It aint very often I find things that rip my ideas off. Think i've found a great example here though... Whilst browsing one of my friends blogs, I came across a recommendation to view an online boutique.

They'll probably get some praise for the original concept, subversive self-expression or ecologically mindedness etc..

Why didn't anybody research the idea? With graf, the idea still has to uphold one of the 'golden rules' (in my tattered book) - and that is 'originality'. I produced a printed bag for Shock&Soul clothing and accessories back in November 2006...Maybe theirs was produced earlier, somebody help finding the originating date for the offending item.

We know though don't we?

Just read about this graff writer doing up the glacier in front of folks in new zealnd, at this attraction called Franz Josef Glacier.

Photographs were taken by passers by and he got nabbed at the bus stop the following morning and had to spend 1½ days cleaning it off. He escaped torture and dismemberment, but had to put up with a 'drilling down' - i think they meant something else.

what, no crampons?

Made me wonder why LUT don't encourage or make the most of the creative forces in UK... maybe they do. I gotta say, I only 'watch' tags cropping up, or new reaches.

(MENT - continuously).
Most of the ads around aren't nice enough to engage the onlooker. There's a few that i've read about, but not on my journeys (why isn't that spelt journies?). Most of the Christmas day batterings that happened on the tube certainly caught a few people's attention, but not the viewing public.


Moving visuals like on THIS LINK are so beautiful to watch, it isn't until the end that you realise its a promo, cos the piece actually keeps you engaged. Gonna have to get some more transport links going methinkles

Just posted this film up on Youtube.
It was shot in 2001 while I was living in London with my good friend Boyd.

Give it a looksee and watch me fall in love with Tony Hart, get excited over a can of Stella, have trouble with my concentration.

Boyd is a star throughout however...

Just seen the trailer for the film NEXT - A PRIMER ON URBAN PAINTING being made by Pablo Aravena. Its got a Your Mum Rang in it too.

I met him during our last Urban Games paint-out... 2002 or summat, ages ago.

Went for a little browse through StumbleUpon last night and found the same thing that I found this morning.

For your interest, the search term last night was: flash slideshow html
and this morning was: clear TEMP folder

See the site from the same person that brought you this:

So, went for a little browse again and came across a graffiti related blog and they had posted a video from the BBC site that is the feature from the local BBC tv news where my huge mural appeared at the Hole In The Wall (...breathe...)

Anyway, go to the blog - it has the video plus a little line of opinion under it!
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENT HERE

update (in true sleuth fashion)
The site is created in Cambridge, based on THIS being available from their 'shop' and THIS on their YOUTUBE account.
So, I went to NIC.COM WHOIS (where you can view the registration details of ANY website) and found that its through an agent called BLUEHOST.

So, feeling particularly sleuthy, went searching for 'Country Bomber' the post was made by. There was only something on the worldwidewriters pages, where 'Country Bomber' had made 3 posts, two promoting his 'website' and another somehwhere else. He joined that site in June this year... So he's probably younger than I am.

I suppose you are reading this and you are worried that I'm gonna reveal something amazing. Well, truth is I'm wasting time- I'm just curious why he thinks I'm also wasting paint. Especially as he contributes to a graffiti website selling super permanent marker pens (full of secret formula) and their trophy poster has plenty of silvers/dubs/chromies/throw-ups. Even the link to the Writers pages is just full of digital photos of cambridge damages... but not THIS ONE, maybe that's 'Country Bomber' ?

and THIS is funny. Check how they use the word 'threw'.

Been painting with aerosols/graffiti since 1983 - thats 24 years. I dont claim to be a one-stop, do-everything, all-bombing, one-man-propaganda. It is well documented that I choose to craft my work in ways that satisfy my urges. So that's all been a waste eh?

Anyway - excuses over, just GO COMMENT.

ps: anybody know, where is Ewa Marks?

You can view a little preview that Ciaran Ryan at the BBC made while he visited the site during the programming. Also a news item HEREon the BBC site.

I basically had to sit on the walkway, through the night because of the reliance on darkness. A few special conversations was had with security, i popped off to get them some food and drinks and in return they told me stories of wonderment and joy...

Any way, its all done complete with a soundtrack worked on with Nobby from Munchbreak. It has to be seen. So, its open from this friday 19th October until 2nd of December.
