I found this site while browsing through GBAK's Flickr page. Auckland based photography archive. Check the link above!

L.A graf legend RISK has launched his own website. He has a career spanning over 27 years and being one of the first in L.A to paint trains and have them run. Definately worth a look.

Eventful week

It's been an eventful week ....


Last Sunday I made my way up to Waitangi Park to get shots of TS painting a bus as part of the ACT RIGHT anti-violence campaign for GO Wellington. I didn't stick around long but the bus was looking pretty dope.




I woke up to a text from Odin stating that a new pastey had been put up on the makeshift construction wall not far from the usual route to work. Malice is DOPE!!!







Took a trip up to Mt Crawford to see if anything new had appeared in the few weeks since we had last been there. Not much had changed apart from the AIM one above ...


And finally Friday 11th saw the re-release of Massage Magazine @ Meow Cafe. We braved the wind and the odd rain shower to chill in the courtyard out the back. Organic beer isn't so bad after all :-P

With Christmas just around the corner and the prospect of a well earned holiday on the horizon I'm going to apologise in advance for posts slowing down over the next couple of weeks. If I can motivate myself OUT of holiday mode and tear myself away from the beers I plan on consuming I'll put some photos up.

Act Right Sunday 6th December

A GO Wellington bus will be carrying an anti-violence message round the city for the next eight months.

A workshop was held on the Friday 20 November with the bus painting planned for the next day but was delayed til Sunday 6th December, to explore young people's perceptions of violence and abuse. Participants came up with key messages about what violence means to them and how this could be communicated through art.

There will be live performances on the while the bus is painted including Host MC Peace, D ov a Kind, Kurst 1, TNG, Wellington B boy and B Girl Crew - Voltron and other B boys and B girls, CPC DJ Crew and the It's Not Okay Campaign champions Tremain and Vic Tamati.

Hopefully the sun is out!

Tourists

I had some friends stop over for 4 days before they headed off to South America continuing their world tour so I thought I better be a good host and show them around Wellington.

First Stop: Mt Victoria Lookout.

I don't get up here much mostly beacuse I don't have a car and I'm prone to laziness. Not sure who these stencils belong to.

Next Up: TS, Rongotai, Lyall Bay

TS are instantly recognisable no matter where you go. I had to brave the southerly to get a decent shot of this while everyone else sat in the car trying to defrost after freezing half to death at Mt Vic.

(You can see street art photos taken by Przem & Les at this post HERE)

I did attempt to take them down Leftbank but run out of time..

Shouting out all the cool kids!

This post is a bit mis-matched, but I was scouring YouTube for Wellington Graf and came across a short Doco starring Elie from BoomBox Gallery in their old premises.

Heaps of work by TS Ceap Ikon and quite a bit of Leftbank. Choice!

Coming Up...

Lights. Camera. Action!

Since we're on the constant lookout for any graf action its always a nice surprise to find someone painting. Sometimes its the paint fumes that give their location away or sometimes we're in the right place at the right time.

Heres a few of our favourite action shots.

Ghetto Fabulous!

Anyone into graf in Wellington knows BoomBox gallery. Just down from Leftbank and around the corner from Cuba Mall, it almost makes it a neccesity to stop in there when your in the area. A fuse box outside has become a bit of a hot spot for tags and slaps, constantly changing and giving me (and a few other dedicated graf heads) more photo opportunities.



Yesterday I was putting some FREE PHOTOS up and saw Elie who mentioned that I could take some photos of all the slaps plastered up in the back room of Boomies. While I was there I thought Id abuse my rights and take some shots of the shop.
