The Guardian are reporting that this famous piece, from the side of the pub in Brighton, is to be sold and shipped off to America:

“The work, which depicts two policemen in a passionate clinch, has become a shrine for fans of the elusive graffiti artist and a regular stop on Brighton’s tourist trail. But, after repeated attacks on the artwork left it severely damaged, the pub owner has decided to sell the original through a New York gallery for an sizeable fee, estimated to be anywhere from £500,000 to £1m.

“When he put it on the pub it belonged to the pub and, if it is sold, all the money will go back to the pub,” said the owner Chris Steward. “It is very difficult to just keep the pub going, so a little break from that would be very welcome.”

Mr Brainwash and Hutch have recently released new prints through Art Republic. Pictured is ‘Le Bistro’ by Mr Brainwash, the street art moniker of French film maker Thierry Guetta, catch the re-working of Hutch’s cult ‘Rollergirl’ print after the jump.

Both prints can be purchased for £100 here.

This is old I know, but probably one of the best of the series of Channel 4′s “Faking It” show. It’s a great insight into how a ‘country casual’ transforms into a ‘hiphop b-boy’. CLASSIC.

As if plying Brighton’s candy-floss eating day-trippers with fake narcotics wasn’t enough, Imbue’s now spraying the masses with double-entendres via his new prints, ‘Let’s Bomb’. Available in colour (pictured) and black and white (after the jump), pick them up from Shock10 here for £80 and £60 respectively.

Brighton based artist, imbue has just added the video of his ‘Drug Vend’ sculpture to YouTube. This somewhat controversial sculpture received a lot of attention from passers by, wondering what the hell was going on!

      

Two new prints from Brighton based Hutch have been released through his local store, Art Republic. Priced at £120, pick them up here.
