Old collabo from March 2010 at Blackrock.
Sinna styles alongside Mishfit, Vodka and Snub23
Tried out some abstract steez on this one. Turned out ok.
Wall murals and pieces that I have painted.
Since April, I have been painting a lot of wall space around Brighton
May was no exception with youth projects, community works and an invitation from the Brighton Festival to produce a large scale mural to honour the Burmese political leader and freedom fighter, Aung San Suu Kyi.
She was this years festival curator and was also made ‘Honorary freewoman of the city’.
The mural was completed by Grafik Warfare members, Dan Kitchener and Snub23, as well as myself. The main image was completed in just a day with the help of a scissor lift and lots of paint! Lettering and logos were created using stencils.
The original design by Harrison and Co.was taken from the brochure of the Brighton Festival and depicts Suu Kyi looking over Brighton.
The finished wall now stands proud on Kensington Street in the North Laines area of the city and was featured in the Guardian a few days after completion.
There was another Sinna and Snub collaboration on a shutter in Circus street to promote the exhibit by Kutlug Ataman. This design was the back cover of the brochure.
Thanks to all involved –

Hit Blackrock the other weekend with Women 158 and decided to go super big. There is something extremely liberating about unleashing a shed load of paint on to a wall. Considering the size of these pieces I hardly dented my huge sack of spray paint that I took with me. Mulsh fills certainly make sense!!
Props go out to the Women 158 and to Frank and Jo for making it down and getting these awesome shots. Nice one Frank. You can see his work here – 4Foot2
It has been very busy in the last few weeks with plenty of walls around Brighton available for the paintage. Quite a few have had the Sinna treatment and this is only the beginning….

Poem reads –
“A Breach of the peace was achieved by the beast named Rhys. The Badgers came from far and around. The Rijarf did tut, got herself in a rut, whilst the Fluboozle rejoiced in the sound. There was an almighty cry as the B-Boy Butterfly arrived with his boom box a shaking. Clarky cat grinning wide, to the bass heavy vibe, knew that this was megafun in the making.”
