The heaven spot on Cuba Street has taken quite a thrashing! The most memorable piece would have to be the boombox stencil put up by the homie Component of Cut Collective.

Eek & Tex

This is another spot that has been made over on a regular basis with Cast Editor Quew and The BMD making an appearance.

In other news

I've been anxiously following the battle of wit between london writer King Robbo and Banksy. Beef isn't something that I go out of my way to acquire but having someone of Bankys' calibre getting hated on is almost amusing. You cant always stay on top I suppose.

While Banksy was in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival promoting his film 'Exit through the gift shop' Team Robbo were out in force.

Exit through the gift shop. A Banksy Production

I'm slightly dubious but just as excited about Banksy's film Exit through the gift shop. Judging by what a few graf/art blogs have said about it (and watching the trailer above) it's more about other artists than Banksy himself (Or themselves?)

Will keep you posted

Fresh

Anyone spotted the posters by Australia's Everfresh Crew appearing around town? The long standing RONE paste-up on Taranaki Street has to be one of the oldest in Wellington as far as I can remember, but these are a welcome addition.

A copy of the above print had been put up on Garret Street along with the pastey below going up just around the corner in Glover park BUT both mysteriously disappeared after a heavy downfall ..... Had the posters become water-logged therefore easy to remove and take home? We'll never know.....

Trike taking the place of where the Everfresh paste-up was.

I posted this throw by Evoke quite a while back, so when I saw that someone had added to it I couldn't help but laugh (and get a photo!)



Nice one Steve.

Beef has never been as well documented till London's old school writer King Robbo and the ever elusive Banksy went head to head. I hate to speculate and it's probably easier if I let the experts do the talking...

Bunkers

The bunkers have always been a favourite spot to visit, mainly because they go untouched for months and the view is amazing if the weather is clear.

It had been over 2 or 3 months since our last visit with quite a few new works appearing in the time frame.

DWT taking over!

The bunkers are too narrow to get the full spectrum with my camera but you get the idea .....

....................

If you have frequented PNTR's Flickr page you would have viewed this many times as I have. Good thing about this is that it can be seen from the houses surrounding the hills. Dope!

I know theres stuff out there that I have yet to photograph, but I'll get there.

Coming to you very soon .....

(Thanks for the mission AIM)

Vivian Street

A tonne of new work has been going up along Vivian Street over the past 3 months. With the addition of the make-shift construction wall fencing off the park that's under renovation it has added some well deserved paste-up spots.

Nice multi layer stencil nail up from Yohzik (above)

L-R Malice/PNTR collab, PNTR, Trike, AIM and Jean Batten tribute by AIM see below

The alley beside the newly named Medusa (Formerly Hole in the wall) that serves as the smokers lounge has always had graf and random drunken scribbles all over it. I'm glad to see it get a tidy up though.

First post of 2010

It's been a struggle to get back into the norm after spending some time away for Christmas. On the plus side. my time away saw a painting mission with Drypnz.

Nelson isn't known for it's graffiti culture but it will provide a few surprises if you look in the right place....

The above sticker combo has been going steady on Trafalgar Street for as long as I can remember.
