Graffoto
Another seven days of posting photos of street art dredged from the archives. In lockdown you have plenty of time with your thoughts and the wandering mind generates random recollections. Those which stand out lead to a photo being thrust into the limelight. So there was some kind of logical process behind the selection of […]
Muralism is the painting of astounding pieces of street art on buildings, these days usually with permission. We’re talking daylight painting, accomplished artists and permission but not direct municipal involvement. In Shoreditch that’s generally how it operates. We are not talking about civic murals where artists pitch for council approval, arts council funding and perpetual […]
Banksy street art hidden for many years has been brought out of limbo in Shoreditch, visible at last to the millions of street art fans new to Banksy’s art since it last doused itself under East London rain. Two images, a huge rat and a TV being chucked rock star style out of a window […]
Everything Starts Somewhere StolenSpace Gallery 17 Osborn St, London E1 6TD 25th October – 18th November 2018 Break out the bunting, a typopgraphy typhoon has struck London, it’s an Eine exhibition. Back in 2007 EINE had a solo show at Kemistry Gallery, late of Charlotte Rd, and the power of seeing EINE’s typography migrate indoors […]
All photos HowAboutNo except NoLionsInEngland where statedWords NoLionsInEngland August, a hot oppresive city, empty workspaces, charged tense atmosphere and tourists.

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 […]

Eine Goes L……Errrm, Small. Then GLOBAL HowAboutNo & Nolionsinengland interview Ben Eine and take snaps, except knocked-off flicks where stated. Some may have thought that Eine’s fairly recent departure from the big smoke to the sleepier climes of East Sussex would have meant a quieter existence for the man with probably the most raw pigment […]
Mighty Mo’s Monkey is cropping up in an amazing array of places….well actually not that amazing as they are nearly always on top of a train bridge, but placement and execution are second to none, all done with a roller and a very long pole. Parked my car IN FRONT of this billboard a few […]
I have often wondered if Eine is actually spelling anything out in placing his letters along our thouroughfares, from his latest spat of shutter realted daubery (at least in the order I have spotted them) here is what he has spelt so far : So, seemingly bugger all…unless it’s really subliminal?!
