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.

Beware the Feef Unit

There's not alot that I like more than sunshine, painting and beer. And if all three just so happen to be at the same place at the same time then even better!

Nice weekend work by Unit Feef and Beware

I don't know who did these but they're a bit out of the ordinary for leftbank.

Although it hasn't been confirmed the work below looks like it could have been done by DDS?

Anyone remember this? The photo is dated 20/01/08 but I know it had been there for ages beforehand.....

International

Some stimulating comments are being made over at the TONKS GROVE post

My 'International Correspondent' Sarah snapped these photos of EINE's work for me in East London. I had begged her to take photos of any single letters on shop fronts that she came across. She commented that these letters were EVVVVERYWHERE.

When I first saw EINE's work I thought it was a silly concept painting only one letter because it would make no sense to the viewer. However once I learnt a thing or two about him I changed my mind when I realised he paints whole alphabets all over London including full word pieces.

You can view a the complete EINE alphabet on David Gormans Flickr stream HERE

Or check out EINE's Care Bear themed Website HERE

While we are on the subject of International Street Art. My good Friends Przem & Les snapped these while in Kuala Lumpur. Good Spotting guys!

Eek & Unit

I mentioned that I was going to post The BMD mothers day shout out but for some damn reason Blogger doesnt like the idea. Sorry folks.

Tonks Grove

Ok. I had made a video of the guys painting but it almost exposed too much of their true identity (Super Hero Syndrome??) so I'll stick to posting pics for now.

Such a sweet spot to paint, kinda gutted I missed out on joining in, ah well, next time.

...Meanwhile on the other side of town

The BMD owning LeftBank.

It seems to me that people have yet to realise that BMD are pretty much unstoppable. For every character that gets capped they've got another 10 or so ready to go up. You can't help but love them.

Have you checked out GRAFFOGRAPHY yet?

Private property

Man I love painting! Im not so fond however of the Ironlak fumes. Smells nice for a few mintues then it rots your lungs and your brain and the lungs and brains of people who are standing around watching haha. Not good. A necessary evil I suppose.

Mean Collab with Unit DWT and VKC. Hated it at first but loved how it turned out in the end.

Eek And The BMD

Love this response to the person or people that felt the need to tag JEW and draw swastikas up and down LeftBank. Go HERE to see what the haps is with that.

The BMD killing it as usual!

Nice work my nigs!

Askew

Askew and Co. rolled through town over the long weekend and gave LeftBank a tidy up. Glad to see that LeftBank is getting some well deserved attention from some out-of-towners. Askew, Riot, Unit, DWT crew.... I wonder who else is going to show up?!?









I've always had trouble taking a front on shot down LeftBank due to the alley being so narrow, so while I tried to use the Panoramic function on my camera I managed to royally fuck it up and ended up with this photo above. Im liking the compostion though...

Meanwhile......

Unit informed me that someone had gone and tagged ''JEW'' and drawn swastikas across his piece. Whoever the culprit is needs a serious reality check. If your going to cap someone with some inane comment or symbol at least come up with something original. If you knew the true origin of the swastika I doubt you would team it with the word JEW. Grow up!

If your going to be disrespectful, do it tastefully.
Cheers Unit for the heads up on the new works. Choice!
