He’s been at it again, this time on the iconic tube trains on Great Eastern Street in our very own East End.
You can pick up Jimi‘s new prints, When All Else Fails, here. And be sure to keep a look out for his solo show in 2009, no doubt there’s lots in store for that.
In the lead up to the release of Guy Richie’s new film, RocknRolla, this Friday, Warner Bros have enlisted the skills of a few of UK graffiti’s all-stars to pep up their London outdoor campaign. A handful of graffiti luminaries such as Solo One, Busk, Astek, Chu, Shucks and Panik were called in to watch the film and then subsequently asked to paint what they felt was on the mystery painting which forms the centre-piece to the movie. As can be seen from the pic above, they ain’t done a bad job. See the other three efforts after the jump.
Just got back from the Cans Festival, which like we reported earlier has been completely redone with a WHOLE tunnel full of new artwork.
The organisers have stripped the tunnel back to it’s bare bones again and allowed a whole new roster of crews and artists to take to the walls and completely remake it.
This time though, its graffiti that takes the presidence, not stencils. A bold move, and if im honest, we almost prefer this compared to the previous incarnation. ATG, the London based graf stalwarts have OWNED the tunnel with a London taxi being one of my favourite pieces.
Another London based artist, Rough, along with at least 5 other names have created an amazing piece – a huge wall of freestyle paint and a huge face with letter-forms coming out of the eyes, alongside a mural of Gordon Brown – stating “Never a frown with Gordon Brown”.
If you’re in town this weekend, and at a loose end then we highly recommend that you get back to Leake St and check out the “Hall of Fame” so to speak of some of the world’s best talents.
To mark the release of issue 6 of Very Nearly Almost magazine we caught up with the one man publishing machine responsible for the magazine’s photography, editorial, design, prinitng, distribution, marketing and everything else.
Read what he had to say on everything from the graf vs street art debate to his plans for the future of the magazine, after the jump.
Very Nearly Almost tends to fly off the shelves pretty quickly so if you can’t find it at your local spot grab it direct from the VNA shop here. [Read more]
We've been involved in the art world in one way or another for years now and thought it was probably about time to set something up ourselves.
Our aim is to provide you with a destination to find out about everything going on in UK galleries, on our streets and anywhere else in the world that our wealth of talented artists might have passed through.
