Coma

Drypnz + PNTR

I trust everyone enjoyed their long weekend, or your time and half/day in lieu if you had to work. Hopefully no-one suffered a diabetic coma due to too much chocolate HA!

Been lazy with the photo snapping so have alot to catch up on.

Nice Easter Monday touch up on a well hit spot.

Big ups SPURTONE

EEK & YELZ @ START GALLERY

EEEEEEKkkks

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.

My talented friend PNTR has his own blog up and running. I always enjoy seeing his fine art work brought to the streets!

Happy Birthday Edits!

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.

End of the year

Well, another year is coming to an end. I trust everyone survived the Christmas carnage of over-eating, gift giving and general festive debauchery.

This blog has come a long way since the first set of photos were uploaded, but I still feel it could progress more and hopefully the new year will bring about change and the progression that I'm looking for. I have a trick or two up my sleeve and with the help of a few good friends we'll get there in the end. Wish me luck!

Thank you to the well wishers, the haters, the lovers, the photo submissions, the friends Ive made along the way, Mark and Bell, Dave and Xoe @ Manky Chops Gallery, Eek and Tash'iqua, Gypsy, them pesky Pirates and those known for Fucking Shit Up, and everyone else that has stumbled across this blog and pimped it shamelessly.

Last of all, Thank you to A Lee for putting up with my obsessive behaviour and following me around while I stare at walls.

See y'all next year!

Bad photos

I must admit that the photos in this set aren't the most impressive to date but what the hell, I'm on holiday!

Sorry I didnt't get individual shots of TEXAS and EEK. Not sure what I was thinking that day.

Hmmmmm

Have a good weekend Pt. 2

A big group of us hung out, drunk beers, talked shit and painted the old Aro Servo on Sunday. A tonne of people stopped by while we were doing it to say how much they love our work. It's good to know that the whole of Aro Valley are supporting us. .

It's all about the actual act of painting, not to see how long it lasts, which is something a chosen few forget. We have a good time doing it and no matter how many dramas you try and cause you will never be able to change that.

Big ups Eek Beware Texas Cast Editor Aim Quew Haps FSU and Manky 166! We'll make believers out of them haters!

Chop Shop

Not to sure who did this but its fkn dope.

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

Graffography sent me these photos from Moa Point. I hadn't been up there for weeks and from what we've seen its always changing.

Looking at Feaf 's recent work makes me wonder why he hadn't painted earlier.

Nice detail by Unit.

After a long hiatus I went up to Manky Chops last night for a beer. The place is packed with awesome works ranging from Jinx to Eek and almost everyone in between. If you've run out of Xmas present ideas then head up to Manky Chops Level 1 166 Cuba

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

Ever since Twitter have taken over the social networking scene I've been inundated with emails stating '' so-and-so wants to follow you on Twitter'' I flat out refuse to do it and find the whole thing pointless. I found out that the 2 times Revok got arrested recently were because of his ''tweets'' stating where he was going to be and the 5-0 where there waiting for him. Sorry folks but there will be no tweeting from me.
....................

If you get a chance head down to Baobab Cafe @ 152 Riddiford St Newtown today and check out the live painting by Dryp and friends and the release of Massage Mag.

And there will be more live painting later tonight by YELZ @ Havana Bar Wigan St.
