Interesting discussions happening on Askew's Flickr page. Opinions regarding the style and aesthetics of Graf art seem to differ from one person to another.

What are your thoughts? Add them up HERE!

Step up my game

Time for me to step it up and TRY and find some good shit to post.

UNIT has been putting up the decent works lately.

Drypnz and Nektar touching up the Opera House wall. Nektar is fucking dope.

No need to explain who this is. Big ups Brother.

Cuba Street.

This is the 3rd Goat stencil I've found. This one happens to be in Newtown.

Wellington based blog Wellington street art & Fashion have posted up some images from around Auckland-town. Check the link HERE

Askew talks about his development of style and delves into his own career history as well as that of the history of New Zealand graffiti. It's not often you get to hear about personal development verbally as opposed to visually from a top writer.

AIM sent me through an article from Wendmag.com that reports on ''Urban Anarchists'' who use the reverse graffiti technique pioneered by Paul Curtis AKA Moose. Instead of aerosol can they are equipped with rags and spray'n'wipe.

Check it HERE

Did anyone see what went down at Cosmic Corner Manners Street for the Mural Competition?

Mugs has been getting himself out here of late. Always loved his style since the first time we drunk beers and had a sketch.

Thought I would test out my panoramic photo taking skills on this wall by Cast Eek and Editor at Massey Uni / Wellington High. Didn't turn out too bad.

Thanks Tristan :-)

( Graffography has some close up shots of each piece )

Nice to see PNTR going big on Cuba Street. There was another the same size on Dixon Street that I planned on getting but the rain beat me too it and the pastey was peeling of in 5 places :-(

I wonder how the Metronomy gig went? ;-P

More New York continued from the last post.

TMDCrew.com has photo's of Saturday's NEXT LEVEL graffiti competition. I was hoping Berst or Stray would have won but Askew took it out. Was the competition rigged I hear you ask?!?! haha. Mean photos by Rimoni

If your around Cuba Street area tonight stop in at Thistle Hall. Over 30 artists showing their work plus guest speaker Tama Iti.

Coming up.....

Im a bit slow in reporting on this but this is going down TODAY! I suspect photos of the day will be up on Askew1.com over the weekend

NEW YORK!!

It's not often I get the chance to post photos of work from overseas so when I heard that a friend would be in New York for a holiday I tried my best at begging him to get some snaps if he saw anything.

Os Gemeos


I read about this wall being painted by the Brazilian street artists Os Gemeos ( meaning The Twins ) from graffiti blog Illicit Exhibitions back in July. Visit HERE to get the rundown.



Thank you Piotrek!

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!

PHAT ride

Found this parked up outside a backpackers by the waterfront. Had to dodge a torrent of traffic to get a decent shot. After a few dirty looks from passing drivers and careful manuvoering I managed to get a few shots in.

TMD won Write For Gold competition defending their title from 2006 so always good to see them appear (on wheels) in Wellington.
