What would you do with this blank wall? Have your say and spark debate. If you’re a street artist, aged 11-25, and would like to paint this space as a part of the Counted project, The Roundhouse want to know. You can peep the brief after the jump…
Following the success of the last two 501® Jeans Live Unbuttoned art installations, Levi’s and Vice have come together to find the UK’s most talented painters, illustrators, designers, sculptors, artists, whatever to have their work displayed on HUGE sites throughout London.
There are absolutely no guidelines for this project, other than that your work should try and capture the essence of what it means to “Live Unbuttoned” – living un-restrained and celebrating self-expression and creative freedom. This may involve freedom, creative expression, full-frontal nudity or however else you interpret the project. Basically, this is an offer to have your work displayed in the capital on a huge scale, no strings attached.

The peeps over at Hang Up Pictures are running a cool little competition at the moment – watch the video above, name the two prints on show and you can win Banksy’s ‘Flag’ print from 2006.
So, after much deliberation and sorting through the entries, the four winners, each receiving a signed copy of the catalogue from Rough’s last show are: Martin Malloy, Philip Gabriel, Steve Turner and Kat Johnson. Congrats to everyone and expect the postman to pop the parcel through your letterbox very soon!
As the pressure of a looming show begins to really mount for both Revok and Ladbroke Grove’s Grenade Art, we popped down to visit them to see how it was all taking shape in the lead up to the opening night this Wednesday.
After blitzing one side of the gallery with a combination of paste-ups and spray paint (pics after the jump), the Los Angeles graff legend was kind enough to sign a couple of posters from the show for us (pictured above). For a chance of winning one of these extremely rare, collectors items, email competitions@ukstreetart.co.uk. Applications will be closed next Monday morning (October 20), with the winners announced shortly after.
We’ve got 4 SIGNED copies of the catalogue from the show to give away to you lot.The catalogue is a small but concise view of the show, and for those of you who couldn’t make it or those of you new to Rough’s work, it’s a good insight to what he is doing.
All you have to do is email your name and address to competitions@ukstreetart.co.uk with the subject line “ROUGH” and we’ll be picking the winners on 14th October.
More pics from the show after the jump, and thanks to Rough for the prizes and photos.
James Mayle, Paul Johnson and Kate Taylor have all won a copy of the Stickerbomb book. Congratulations and expect the postman to pop the little package through your letterbox VERY soon.
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.
