Leftbank.co.nz have won the Wellington Civic Trust Street Art award!!
This was the first time this category had been entered in these awards. And not having heard of the Wellington Civic Trust before we were stoked to be nominated.
The slide show for this presentation made by Callum gave a fair representation of Wellington Graffiti. Sin, DR, Silenc and a few other well known writers were displayed proudly. We were all amazed at the quality of the pictures considering all photos taken for Lefties are done on a Nokia camera phone.
So, where we go from here is still very much unknown. After all the political bullshit that graf in New Zealand has had over the last year it was good to see graffiti shown in a positive light.
Congratulations E! And thank you to Top Shelf/Triple S crew for being supportive and humble, Surplus Bargains and all the other nominees in all categories.
oO WWS Oo
GRAFFITI IS MENT TO BE ILLEGAL IT IS MENT TO BE A CRIME AND IT SHOULD BE KEPT THAT WAY!
