Street Athletics.

This weekend just gone I got busy with some paint (despite the rain!) down at an event called Street Athletics on the Delgano Estate in White City. Here's the piece on pre-prepared boards in progressive stages.
I also got to meet Linford Christie who was a real nice bloke! All in all a top weekend.

Haters Hate lovers love

A couple of days after me painting the memorial piece (below) for IZ the Wiz, someone decided to go over it with this:

'Haters hate'

IZ the Wiz, RIP

After hearing the very sad news that IZ the Wiz, one of my all time favourite graffiti writers, I felt compelled to do a piece in his honour.
RIP Michael "IZ the Wiz" Martin - November 30th 1958-June 17th 2009

Sam's canvas.

This recent commission was for Sam who is currently working on a building project on the Stockwell Park Estate.
The piece is for his girlfriend Georgia and is simply entitled 'Sweet Dreams Georgia'.

South African connection, TOE and Solo.

Cape Town's number one graffer and steel don TOE paid a visit to London recently, so I took him out some XL production stylings.
This production was a reminder that going LARGE is always bigger-er and clever-er.

Mear, Crok, Solo.... it's on at Alexandra Palace!

I recently teamed up with UK graffiti heavyweights Mear and Crok for some Sunday painting in the park action.
The day was a scorcher and the location was Alexandra Palace which has a lovely view of London and its romantic smog. Local resident Sally Hulin was so impressed by the art taking place she asked if it was possible for her bin to be painted, which had to be done as most of my art is considered by some rubbish or ends up there!!
This spot looks to be a favourite so expect more hits than a boyband with six-packs on this one!

Love will win. Solo and Rabodiga paint together to protest at the lack of love.

During June I teamed up with the accomplished Spanish artist, Rabodiga to paint a one day wall on the Stockwell Park Estate.
The theme of the mural was 'Love will win' and this was thrashed out after many a debate about the lack of love in society and our need as artists to promote it. Drippy love hearts were to be the stars of this show as well as Rabodigas sharp drip portrait.
