Paste-ups have been a favourite of mine to photograph. The most prolific artists using this medium in Wellington are Surplus Bargains and Drypnz. Dryps characters are easily recognisable in any form but his placement is amazing (and often death defying!) and I always get excited seeing a new character plastered to the wall.
Surplus has his own unique style. Every paste-up I have seen of his have always featured animals. Tigers, Tuis, Bees and Snails have adorned our streets. And like with Dryp I am always anxious to see the next creature that he creates.
Seeing that Yelz pastey makes me wonder where he is? We haven't seen anything from him for months...
