Not sure who's piece this was, but it was great

ROA - Canis (dog)

Risk - On the roof again

Risk - On the roof again (b)

Joe Black - Workers of the world unite!

I saw what I thought was this piece a few years ago at Moniker,

but the date on this one was 2012, so guess it must be a new one.

Still love it though - great concept and execution, a powerful piece.

Urban Masters at Hearn St car park Pt2

As promised, the next installation from the excellent exhibition at Hearn St car park... Sorry some of these photos are a bit rubbish - it was very hard shooting in this environment allowing for the various light sources, but you get the idea. I'll chuck up a link with the gallery (Opera Gallery) that organised the exhibition, and you can search through their online catalogue for studio shot pics.

Banksy - Kill Mom? (detail) 200cm x 200cm.

This was done on a piece of old corrugated card and was POA...

MAC1 - La bellenoiseuse

Blek le Rat - Mona

Rona - That's the way (it should have begun but it's hopeless)

Mentalgassi - Subway (Lenticular)

Mentalgassi - Subway (Lenticular front on)

Zezao - Dramat cidaded

Sweet Toof - Dame

Sweet Toof - Duke

KAN/DMV - Warhol tribute to an anonymous master

It's been a while...

Sorry folks, been a long while since I posted up anything, and I'm not gonna make any excuses except for I was away in NZ for a month, then in Wales, then working full-on on a magazine for a friend, but in the meantime, here's a few nice pics from some friends around the world...

New Banksy on the streets of London

Great modified street sign

Fag break - unsure whether it's Banksy or not?

Trim the grass...

Be the first to like my post - brilliant!

Skeleton drain

Fantastic vehicle signage for USS (United Sprayer Service)

Bristol for the weekend

Headed over to bristol with some mates on friday night for Roger's stag weekend, which involved a lot of drinking and mischief, along with equal amounts of quad bike racing, hovercrafting, clay pigeon shooting and archery. Also included a leisurely brunch in the sun and checking out the updated graf in my fav Bristol haunt - Stokes Croft. Hope you enjoy...
