Just in case you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last couple of days, here’s a pic from Faile’s recent release. As we mentioned on Saturday, Faile are releasing both prints and originals, one print has now been and gone as a ‘buy now’ but the rest are to be distributed via a lottery system using FairQ. The lottery system will close at 9pm GMT time tonight, so there’s still time if you fancy dipping your nib into the Faile ink, so to speak.

Like his most famous client, Banksy, art dealer Steve ­Lazarides is a little wary of the press.

Since the late 80s, when he used to put on club nights and “look after the affairs” of his artist mates, he’s quickly become one of the figureheads of London’s booming street art movement, with a high-profile gallery on Soho’s Greek Street, another in Newcastle, and a third which opened on Friday on Charing Cross Road. But he’s not ­prepared to spill any secrets about London’s most famous anonymous artist.

“I have no idea who he is,” he says, deadpan, when I ask how Banksy’s success has ­affected his fortunes. There’s an awkward silence. “I’m not going to talk about him. What he’s done is there in black and white for everyone to see.”

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be associated with him. “It’s just he’s not here with me, it’s ­impossible for him to ­answer, and I’m not going to answer for him. His success is well documented and has helped lots of other people.”

The UK Street Art team hit the tunnel earlier today and boy, was it good. EVERYTHING, and i mean everything was very well organised, methodically planned and to heap on top of that a HUGE amount of stunning work from some of the best artists in the world. This was pure genius.

If you’re in London over the bank holiday or at least can travel to London then I suggest that you make the effort to go check it out. You won’t be disappointed. The queues were big, but it took us just over 20 mins to get in and once in, plenty of space to move around and take photos.

For some more information on the display, check the BBC article here

Get ready for a big amount of photos from the event for those of you that can’t make it down.

As we speak, some of the world’s most amazing stencil artists from all over the world are flying into London to create new work at an undisclosed location for the Cans Festival that will take place this weekend. Artists include Bsas Stencil, Prism, Roadsworth, Blek, Sten, Sadhu, Lex, Faile, Logan Hicks, and many, many, more. Should be an incredible event.
