GraffotoRook and Raven Gallery, London 17 May – 21 June 2012 All photos: NoLionsInEngland Stencil artist Penny has captioned his Rook and Raven solo show “Economy of Scale”, it could just as easily have been “Hand Cut” as this description applies to every image on show and blistered, bleeding fingers must be entry price for […]
Civilisations rise and fall, some more quickly than others. Their legacy often lives on through residual art though archaeologists and historians are inclined to get distracted by coinage, bent forks and chipped potties. Jo Peel has made her mark with art, animating a complete evolution from idyllic paradise of nature to decayed east end sink […]

All photos: NolionsInEngland Fate conspired to stop me pressing the shutter release on any camera for 9 whole days until yesterday lunchtime. It was nothing in particular, nothing special, just a bundle of things from the normal routine of life that cuts perpendicular across a passion for street art and graff. Yesterday lunchtime every surface […]
Photos: NolionsInEngland except HowAboutNo where stated. Every year throws up it’s street art hating graffiti purist, thankfully 2012’s has arrived early. Malarky, Lucas & feat Kamba Malarky, Lucas, Mr Penfold and co are clearly guilty of wantonly putting up sweet and bright painted walls and shutters all over Shoreditch and someone, step forward Kamba, resents […]
HowAboutNo rashly promised FOUR picture-rich blog posts to review what was up on London’s streets and alleyways in 2011, so I thought I’d contribute something at this stage covering the Summer months, mainly because with our productivity we might not complete this magnus opus until Dec 2012. Dr D was present and correct throughout 2011, […]

If there is one thing the Greeks haven’t wasted money on it’s The Buff. Every highway fence, roadside kiosk, every shop […]

Bankers and politicians are frequently a target for K-Guy and as usual, he delivers a simple message with exquisite timing and placement. Spraypaint,Carpet (quality: Eastern European municipal […]
all photos: NoLionsInEngland except where noted Central London today saw a truck decorated by Banksy coming out of obscurity and into the full glare of the popular art commodity market. Banksy comes in for a fair amount of criticism for being a stencil artist and therefore not doing hardcore freehand schizz or just lacking can […]
London,30 Sept–7th Oct, 2011 all photos: NoLionsInEngland One of the joys of wandering the tarmac’t gallery of London’s outdoor artists is finding a new talent, an artist with an un-familiar signature getting up in a novel and unique style. One evening over a year ago, skirting around old street roundabout I spied a paste up […]
