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 […]

It’s Still a MysterY To MME
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?!

Cans Festival – Let Us Spray
Popped down to the third and final day of Cans Festival, this time with a mission to get past the security and get some photos on the exit ramp where all the un-billed artists could rock up and spray. Conning my way past with a few stencils in my mitts, the results of this mass […]

Leake St, 3 May – 5 May 2008 words/pictures: nolionsinengland. LA got its elephant in the room (has anyone else noticed the “Elephant In The Room” drawing added to Banksy.co.uk, curious since everything else on his site is publicly seen work), Notting Hill had the rats, Waterloo’s tunnel hosted possibly the finest selection of global […]

Blam – Die!!! Spraycan
Blam Solo Exhibition New Cross Gallery 1 May – 24 May In the world of graff art, few pieces achieve a wider recognition beyond hardcore wall spotting fetishists but one piece known to many otherwise dis-interested Londoners is the Oscar The Grouch on a wall in Shoreditch. photo: HowaboutnoCredit for this enduring and council-preserved piece […]
No photos. Pin back your eyelids and try reading some words for a change. Howaboutno and Nolions rocked up to the premier of Joy Division by Grant Gee, courtesy of an email passed on from an obviously nameless mutual friend and photoshopped to look like addresssed to us. Two immediate questions, why London not Manchester […]

Cancer Sell Street Art Tour
The freezing temperatures and shitty smells of Hoxton, Shoreditch and Brick Lane are readily tolerated by vandals going about their clandestine work on walls so a little dank mist and a few squally showers weren’t going to deter a hardy group of walkers in search of graffiti enlightenment and soul purifying charity support. Photo: HowAboutNo […]
Stopped on my bike on the way home this evening to snap some rooftop stuff. It has been there for ages, its on a pretty fast and hectic stretch of road, the Euston Road just before the underpass. Scientific measurements by journalists last year proved this is the shittiest, most polluted bit of road in […]

Toronto Graffiti – Wild Times
Toronto is a grey place. Grey skies, grey buildings, grey lake, grey roads, grey people. When the sun un-expectedly burst through the clouds I grabbed my camera and went looking for a bit of wall colour. I found brickloads, in a system of alleyways just south of Queen St West, between Spadina and Portland. Tons […]

Church Street Graf Area
For a couple of years we’ve been meaning to check out this space, walking home in a celebratory mood after watching United steal a 2-1 win from the Gooners it just seemed like a good thing to do. The London Frontline collective/Mighty Mo is the most obvious stuff seen from the top of any passing […]
Signal Gallery, Curtain Rd, London, 11 Apr – 10 May Dale Grimshaw previewed his first solo show at the Signal Gallery in Curtain Rd last night. His pictures are dramatic, energetic and powerful. I saw hints of Conor Harrington on the slightly canted lines across the portraits. At times the montaged composition of the faces […]
