GraffotoA long time coming for Mr Fish this one, he should have had a solo show a very long time ago. Few can argue that his stencils are simply second to none (as witnessed a few posts back in his return to hitting up the streets of East London) So, back to his more usual […]
Viola Gallery 1a Turville St 21 Feb 2008 First, a short summary of recent street art history as background to tonight’s show. Several months ago a flutter occurred literally on the streets of London when a flock of pigeons appeared on the walls of Hoxton and Shoreditch. Thinkfly took the whole fluorescent pigeon with eyes […]
Black Rat Press Print ShowRivington Street 16 Feb 2008 With domestic interiors across the land filling up with prints from street artists, Black Rat Press have blessed the inquisitive and acquisitive with an education in the back stage aspects of the artists work.

Islington Arts Factory 8 Feb 2008 There are many reasons why people move out of central London…less stress, better schools, nature, the environment and definitely more space! Jef Aerosol’s new Show at the Islington Art Centre, not too far from Newcastle and roughly level with Stavangar, certainly has more space, more space for hanging, more […]

Will be good to see his stuff on the streets too one day. “Rush Hour” http://www.hoodacious.co.uk/ Prints are pre released today and due to be sent out end of next week at the bargain price of £50. Stef’s previous stuff has […]
I really cant wait to see this show in the flesh. The stories have already been told far and wide of how ridiculous the buy to sell market is flooding the street art (call it what you want) market. Where will it all end? (and I really stopped caring for being mad about chasing the […]
Have been waiting ages for this, and thankfully I won’t have to wait too much longer. 10 August – 1 September 2007 A face to face show of classic drawings and paintings by Andy Warhol set against the infamous graffiti work of Banksy. Campbell’s or Tesco? Grace Kelly, Muhammad Ali, Winston Churchill, Mick Jagger, Queen […]

Asbestos […]
