Spectator Sport

I organised a legal wall for the locals to paint over the weekend. A few people couldnt make it as they had prior arrangements (but will go back at a later date, I'll keep you posted) so I gave Cast Editor and Erase the go ahead to paint first

Initially the owners seemed a little concerned with what they were going to put up but came out to watch throughout the day then gave the thumbs up once they saw the finished product.

Another Hangover

Manky Chops held Sole's first show there in a year Thursday gone with most of the artwork sold before I arrived. Thanks to MCNZ crew for putting on an awesome night.... let's just say I left there with a bit of a stumble lol

..A few of the works on offer

Show runs til 29th August

Caught up with Heist & Horus while they painted this. You could smell the ironlak from the park across the road haha

..........

Could this have been done by the church goers from the other side of this wall? Judging by the hand signals maybe not?!?!

Sole - Phonic

After a year's hiatus from Manky Chops, Sole returns to serve up a tribute to the old school masters of Soul, Funk, Reggae, Dub, and all that classic goodness. Under the guise of 'Sole-Phonic', he launches a new extension to his alias, blending his passion for both music and art. This latest body of work is inspired by the forefathers & mothers of our modern music culture, and the record cover artworks that accompanied their vinyl 12" & 7" inch records. From the soulful depths of Nina Simone & Al Green, the funky grooves of James Brown & Michael Jackson, and the irie vibes of Bob Marley & Lee Scratch Perry.

Sole-Phonic: A Tribute to the Classics
Manky Chops Gallery, Level 1, 166 Cuba St., Wellington
Opening Night: Thursday, 20th August 2009
runs til Saturday 28th August

I saw this stencil on the pillar at the entrance of LeftBank. Someone in Wellington must be a fan of Meek, a stencil artist from Melbourne (unless Meek has been here and Im too dumb to know lol)

Although you can't see it in the photo the white square says' Keep your coins, I want change"

..........

I stumbled upon Drypnz Editor and Pntr painting an old wall when I was supposed to be be getting some lunch, I milled around for a bit and went back to visit halfway through then got some finished shots. Damn those parked cars in the way!!

Yelz says goodbye to IKON

...And down the other end of the alley...

Sunday saw Mugs and I have a paint at an old spot used by a few of us (Thanks Guy & Shosh!!) Sunshine, new paint and a box of beers helped keep the atmosphere mellow as we took our time and chilled with M & B from Graffography

Wasn't that pleased with how mine turned out but nevermind, it was choice just being able to chill and take your time without attracting an audience.

Happy Birthday Mugs!

Hung with UNIT for a bit before work on Monday while he painted up LeftBank. Good to see the owner of the surrounding buildings come down and give him props for painting something.decent.
