Whitecross Street Party

Around 30 artists taking part, live painting, giant knitting, sunshine, DRINKS! If these are some of your favorite things you need to head to the Whitecross Street Party this weekend. Some of the artists include Paul Insect, Best Ever, Burning Candy, Mysterious Al, Shepard Fairey, Dr.D and Inkfestish, if that line-up doesn’t butter your muffin then I don’t know what will.

If you look skyward you’ll see this piece by me which will be available to buy and better still, 25% of all sales will be donated to SHP, a London charity that works with the homeless.

For more info go to www.wxstreetparty.co.uk
The party is on both 24th and 25th July with all the work staying up and around until the 5th of September

The Hades Shot.

An artists I’ve pretty much been in awe of for a very long time is Mr Jago. I’ve loved watching his style progress over the years and his latest piece, The Hades Shot, which I think is in the new Stolen Space group show in London, is absolutely beautiful. For me, a great piece of art has the power to stop you in your tracks and transport you instantly to another place; your senses become completely shut off to everything else going on around you and for that moment, it’s just the 2 of you, connecting, communicating.

Jago’s latest piece has that quality to it and I can’t stop looking at it. I even made a trip up to London today to get a proper look but stupidly didn’t realise that the gallery is closed Mondays. Idiot. So for now I shall just have to gaze into this decent sized image he very kindly emailed me until I can see it in the flesh and converse with it in person.

My sources tell me that Mr Jago himself will be going into The Bunker very soon, so watch this space.

Babelgum Video Interview.

Just suppose I Juxtapoz…

After religiously reading the awesome Juxtapoz magazine for years I’ve now been featured on the website, without wanting to sound like an extra from Point Break, I’m STOKED!

You can read part 1 of the interview by Sandra Butterfly from the Juxtapoz team HERE .

Part 2 will follow very closely behind so keep ‘em peeled.

2010, the future is now!

Well, here we are, 3rd of Jan 2010 and not a hover-board in site. And with the end of the Mayan calendar falling on 21st Dec 2012 we’ve got just under 3 years to get our shit together before the end of the world…apparently. Apologies yet again for the lack of updates to the blog, I’ve spend most of December driving up the coast of Australia which was pretty awesome. Then of course we all had to celebrate the birth of that Jesus bloke in the only way most of us know how, getting drunk, eating way too much and losing at Trivial Pursuit.

So here is the first post of the year, and what a year t’will be. Febuary the 25th sees the opening of my first London solo show ‘The Colour Out Of Space’, a collection of over 20 new paintings and a couple of new prints. This will be followed by a barrage of brand new street work both here and abroad including NYC where I’ll be taking part in 2 large projects, one of which will see myself and the mighty C215 take over the Brooklynite Gallery to put on what promises to be an awesome collaborative show. I’ve also been asked to curate a HUGE project in Gambia where I’ve chosen 7 of todays best contemporary artists to turn an entire village into what will undoubtedly be an amazing site. Not to give too much away right now but if you like the work of people like Logan Hicks, C215, Will Barras and Lucy McLauchlan, I think you need to start getting excited about this now.

The next 2 months are gonna be the toughest for me so far but I’ll try my best to keep this place updated with randomness and sneak peeks of how the work for the show is coming on so drop in from time to time. For now, here’s a few snaps from down under.

Hope you all have a great year!
