The Green Box Saga

Brighton Green Boxes, Fresh St. ART, Media Box painting, Uncategorized

This year I have been working with youth groups and Brighton council to paint some of the spaces around the city. Along with this I have been given permission to paint a number of the green electricity and communications boxes around the place. Following in the footsteps of Brighton Green Box artist, Cassette Lord, I hope to offer a more colourful and alternative style to the current casette and mixer stencils normally seen around. Here are just a few that have been done already….

 

 

BIG BIG BIG

Blackrock, Collaborations, Commissions, Sinbot, Walls

In the past year and a half I have been involved in some of the biggest wall projects that I have ever done. It started in May 2010 with the event The Beautiful and the Canned 2, which was a highlight of 2010’s May Fringe Festival in Brighton and Hove. There were a number of large walls painted around the city by a selection of amazing spray paint and stencil artists. This event was lovingly and meticulously organised by Brighton’s own Guy Harris and Fay Mcdonald at WET PAINT PRODUCTIONS. The wall I was involved with, as seen above, was a collaboration with Brighton’s no.1 female spray artist, MISHFIT, London’s awesome character artist , INKFETISH,  mural cartoonist, KEV MUNDAY and Leamington Spa’s super tech stencilist, DBO. With a special guest appearance by Holland’s (or Nolland) crazy graff cartoonist, NOL getting as high as he always gets ( he is a very tall guy!). This was assisted by Independent Scaffolding of Brighton

In August 2010, I single handedly painted the largest mural I had ever painted. The wall ( as seen above ) took a week to complete, up a scaffold and I probably went through around 50 tins of spray paint. Powered by the mighty KOBRA brand and once again supported and elevated by INDEPENDENT SCAFFOLDING of Brighton, the wall was commissioned by THE  PROPERTY SHOP to promote a new business venture in to home repairs called ALL BUILDING TRADES. The image is the cut away of a house showing lots of building and repairs going on throughout.

This year has seen more large work go up ( see below ) and there are still a few more projects in the pipe line.

Brighton Festival 2011 – Grafik Warfare Wall

Commissions, Events, Festivals, Projects, Walls

Brighton Festival GW

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 –

Huuuuuuuuuuuuge Bot

Blackrock, Collaborations, Sinbot, Walls

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

Summer of Sinna is Here…

Fresh St. ART, Projects, Walls

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….

Happy Rhyster piece, New England House, Brighton

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.”
