Words: NoLionsInEnglandPhotos: HowAboutNo and NoLionsInEngland as stated You didn’t seriously think that cold weather would put Shoreditch Street Art into hibernation did you?

All photos HowAboutNo Words NoLionsInEngland We are just over halfway through October so it must be time to reminisce fondly on the street art that appeared on Shoreditch walls back in September. We can also reminisce on the good old days when the part of Graffoto wandering round with a camera would let the part […]
All photos HowAboutNo except NoLionsInEngland where statedWords NoLionsInEngland August, a hot oppresive city, empty workspaces, charged tense atmosphere and tourists. Yup, on the whole that pretty much sums up this month’s Shoredtich Street Art scene except that wall space was actually pretty very full and in one controversial case, pretty badly buffed! Above did a […]
photos: HowAboutNowords: NoLionsInEngland July had to man up to follow the excellent street art Shoreditch has seen in the past few months and boy did it deliver. Things cannot get more manly than having Luther on the BBC swagger around in front of street art and graffiti performing miraculous feats of apparent teleporting from one […]
June was a bumper month for activity around Graffoto towers, not least dry conditions meant casting aside essential foul weather gear to find something cool but not overly flesh revealing! All photos: HowAboutNo Local scene stalwart and Signal Gallery co-owner Dale Grimshaw produced a range of stunning large murals and smaller paste ups. DALE […]

Hit Shot Walls – April 2013
Some of the new bits and pieces this month. . . Special mention must go to Alo, hitting up so many locations this month and last I’ve officially lost count. Quite a few new faces to the streets too, but plenty of habitual Hackney hitters returning after a while away. Enjoy.
Photos by HowAboutNo and NoLionsInEngland And here we have it folks, part 4 of 4 in the round up of 2011. This final look at the year now covers September all the way through to the end of December. Being that it was mild for the time of year, and there were a shed load […]
Part 2 of 4 in the round up of my favourite graffiti and street art action in 2011. Already a few days into the new year, this all feels so last year already. . . All photos by HowAboutNo except where stated. Probs Various Blam repainted his famous Oscar the Grouch piece (and possibly one […]
Welcome pop pickers! A post I have meant to do for the last few years on Graffoto has been a look back at the year, be it a good or a bad one. The problem in previous years was that I just always ended up leaving it too late in the holiday, my bingo wings […]
All photos Howaboutno and Nolionsinengland as indicated Graffoto are pretty sure that this is the first actual stencil piece in London by German artist Evol and it’s great to see one in the flesh finally. Howaboutno NoLionsInEngland Howaboutno He actually uses both stencils and also paste ups (in this case just stencils with a spot […]

Day Off Urbexing
So, I had a rare free day planned a week in advance to go to a few abandoned sites around East Sussex – namely a closed technical college on the sea front. . . And then on to a long closed private school in the countryside Now whilst on these trips I do expect to […]
Eagle eyed residents of Hastings and St Leonards may have noticed the sudden crop of giant geometrically patterned moths appearing on walls around parts of both town centres recently. The reverse graffiti being the work of a UK artist called Moose, one of the people to have pioneered the movement of “Clean Art” where stencils […]

Heavy Artillery – Haters
Prescription Art GalleryBrighton, England22 Oct 2009 – all photos: NoLionsInEngland Heavy Artillery, awesome top end graffiti writers have opened their first whole crew show in Prescription Art’s gallery in Brighton. This show takes place in a distressed and dilapidated former music library with scene-of-the-crime tripod lighting, unlit external toilets and no running water, so a […]
As that eternal twat Shaw Taylor used to tell us back in days gone by, onto another twat that needs to be kept an eye out for and had some polite words with. From Flickr friend eddiedangerous http://www.flickr.com/photos/eddiedangerous comes this annoying story of street art theft – seemingly no one is safe, but currently hardest […]
Further to last weeks premature death of the Brick Lane hall of fame that had started and allowed to continue after the Meeting of Styles event this year, word has reached the Graffoto news desk of underhanded tatctics by Hackney Council in trying to bully shopkeepers into having graffiti cleaned from their shutters. A Shoreditch […]
