GraffotoFor 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 […]
“Cancer Sell” is an event that is being staged to raise funds primarily from the contribution of art works given by the artists on Flickr. I am doing all I can to help out a friend that I met through the site to make the night and the fund raising total a big success. Thanks […]
Laz Gallery, Greek Street, 4 April – 2 May Thursdays, perfect for a night to seek sensory stimulation, art and free beer. Tonight’s cultural oddessy started at Cargo gardens for live charity painting by Bristol Graff legends and 1980s Banksy contemporaries Inkie, Cheba, Cheo and Lokey.

Cement Gallery Group Show 27 Mar – 5 Apr One of the first victims of the build-em-up-knock-em-down pump and dump street art print scene was Eelus, slagged off for knocking out large editions of the one image in too many colourways. No longer on the PoW roster having chosen to go full time and sell […]
New Cross Gallery, 6 March – 31 March, 2008 New Cross is a place outside London, Sarf of the River. The underground doesn’t go there any more. Taxi drivers charge a fortune and get lost. On the A-Z it is in a wilderness zone marked “Beware dragyns”. The first indication of any artistic endeavour is […]

Most apparently, at least to alley way loitering photographers and graff art affectionadoes, he brightens the walls (and other found objects) of London and Athens with his un-mistakable style of art, an abstract fantasy character world populated by multiple faced limb deficient organo-cyborgs. The Krah works alone or […]
