On the streets of Shoreditch/Hoxton

Was wondering around Shoreditch on friday evo after the Urban Masters show and snapped these...

Tom Blackford at Blackall Studio

Had a great night last night at the opening of Tom Blackford's 'Imaginary friends' solo show. It was a dark show but good fun. As usual for Shoreditch openings the gallery was full of Hoxton brats taking advantage of the free Tiger beer and wine, but why not... Thanks Blackall Studios for the invite (and all the free beer).

I really liked this piece but the photo just doesn't do it justice.

Spectacular piece near Curtain Road

Came across this on thursday evo on my way down to a gig in Holywell Lane. It was just off Curtain Road. A spectacularly large piece, well worth checking out if you're down that way.

Jen shot this on her way to work on friday. Caught her eye as it had all the elements she likes - American indians, newsprint (musical manuscript) and nice stencil work. It was fresh up and intact when she went by, but won't last long in this area. Thanks Jen xx

Ludo's first solo show in Paris

Nice piece by Ludo in Paris to coincide with his first Parisian solo show, at the Galerie Itinerrance (www.itinerrance.fr). Unfortunately we were there last month, so missed out. Next time. Have featured his work here before, so if you're interested in his style search through the archive.

Paris summer part 1

We recently went to Paris for a 4 day break with our friend Simon. Whilst there we snapped some pretty fine pieces of graffiti so I thought I'd share some with you, here goes...

 Distressed girl

 Blind test

 Tightrope walker

 Now I'm not usually a fan of rubbish tagging, but this one caught my eye as my name is Hame and my twin sister's name is Heather (Hev) - we didn't do this tag though!

 Hobo

We were walking the streets on sunday morning when we came across three pieced that had been done on cut door panels. I really liked this one, and was tempted to bring it back to London, but it was too bloody heavy. Great idea though, so I think I may use it later...

 Sign modification (for Mark)

 Wonder woman (now)

 This was a really nice paste-up but unfortunately if had been dogged by the time we came across it

 Interesting stencil in gay town

 Super Mario in tiles

Paris summer part 2

On a recent trip to Paris I took a bunch of snaps of what was happening over there. This is part 2:

Love the continuated messaging on this piece near Hotel Du Nord 

Invader 

Flouro  phallis

Not sure who this is, but it was very well done 

We came across this guy on our first day, and even saw the artist putting one up near our apartment in broad daylight... No two are the same so it's always a pleasure to see the next one.

 Ph. Herard signs most pieces. Can't find much info on him, but here's a link (from a french site): http://www.loveonthewall.com/2012/05/ph-herard.html
