GraffotoRedchurch Street in Shoreditch has changed dramatically over the years yet despite gentrification it still houses some seriously good street art. As part of the Shoreditch Design Triangle, itself a subset of the London Design Festival, I was asked to assess the impact of Redchurch St and the history of its street art. The […]
All photos NoLionsInEngland except Jef Aerosol where stated On Weds 7th January, two masked men claiming to belong to Al Qiada armed with Kalashnikov rifles burst into the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris and embarked on a killing orgy that saw 12 killed in the that building including editor Stephane Charbonnier and cartoonists […]
SNOE, CEPT, BRK, SEKS v. SHUCKS1,JOBE Strongroom Curtain Rd, London Sat 18 Aug 2012 Expect sparks when two crews collide. Fills get abstract, characters pose, outlines pop, shines burst and backgrounds flare yet the real stress causing graff foreheads to pucker is not the law or the pikeys robbing cans…it’s the clock! Two of London’s […]
all photos: NoLionsInEngland Graffoto went out hunting Swoons yesterday lunchtime, Boris Bikes for transport, cameras for the kill, separating and meeting again to cover more of the East London concrete jungle. Diddley squat, nada, nothing new, just the three recent pieces already located. However, at the last rendezvous HowAboutNo excitedly reported that a known Burning […]
London Aug 2010 Graffoto had the pleasure of a morning with Cept as he freestyled a London shutter writing CEPT with an awesome intergalactic perspective buggering fill. Look too closely at the end result and you’ll feel like you are about to fall into deep space. Check the movie, in particular see some impressive backwards […]
The Writer’s Bench26 Argyll Square, Kings CrossLondon 3 Sep – 25th Sep, Thurs-Sat 1.30pm til 6pm or by appointment. Last time we met Cept, he was a cackling mad-man “I’m free; no more shows; painting streets…”.

30 Hertford RoadDalston, London22 Nov – 30 Nov 2008 Photos: NoLionsInEngland except where stated A natural separation in graffiti culture requires art fags admiring street art to take their asymmetric haircuts and pink glassless glasses to Shoreditch, while the hard core graff guys get their secret society writer-shall-write-only-for-writer thing up in the provinces, like Hackney, […]
Am really looking forward to this one, a long wait for a solo show from Cept and hopefully gonna be well worth the wait! It’s been seriously quiet from Cept on the streets, so thats got me really excited for what he has been tucked away and creating. He’ll be releasing a print of the […]
I knew it would be worth waiting a while to update on the lushness that is painted by Cept……actually, that’s a complete lie, I didn’t have a clue quite what was gonna happen in the last month and a bit around his usual Sclatter Street wall. It had been in this guise below, fairly suitably […]
Fairly hot on the heels of the new Eine going up (it may have even been at the same time) This new piece by Cept went up on his fave spot in East London. Am gutted that I haven’t documented the spot better than I have as there has been some amazing stuff over the […]
