My Dog Sigh’s street art gains invitation to guest edit Big Issue Magazine
Category: Uncategorized
The graffiti scene recently lost a true virtuoso with the passing at a very young age of Jano. Jano was a master of style. He pulled off the almost impossible feat of constantly innovating and developing new directions while always remaining distinctive and instantly recognisable. Jano – Sclater St London 2009 Jano writing “Human”, Leake […]
Last summer as I walked into the 2012 BP Portrait Award in the National Portrait Gallery to see Nathan Ford’s entry ‘Joachim’, a tiny 28 x 20 cm canvas, I was immediately struck by its hanging and also by the surrounding competition. It was hung rather apologetically between 2 enormous canvases, and demanded the visitor […]
