New pieces + Breaking news

Well the artists around Brick Lane are out of hibernation alright! These pieces have appeared in the last couple of days. Enjoy!

Sesame Street is a classic and Oscar the Grouch was one of my favourites, though he always seemed to get his comeupance!

Here's a close-up of the cut out teardrop in the doorway next to Oscar. I really like random little "throw-ups" (as graffiti artists call them) that are quick little messages from the artist

Speaking of graffit artists... I'm sure this isn't recent but I only spotted it today. There are plenty of Stik's pieces on here, just go through past posts, there's also an interview that is quite funny. We're planning more interviews while he's doing a piece as well. Watch this space!

You may have read in my last post that I saw Parlee at work and I intended to go back later to picture the finished piece but it had been tagged beyond recognition? He must have ssen it himself coz this appeared overnight. To be honest (sorry Parlee if you read this) I much prefer this piece anyway, so maybe the taggers did you a favour!

Breaking news - The artist Damien Hirst, of formaldehyde cow fame, has joined my facebook group! I'm sure that this means stardom on the arts circuit awaits me! hahahahaha


Check him, and the other "followers" out at facebook.com/bricklanearts


Coming up:


First Thursday - tomorrow! I will be doing the rounds of all the galleries that open their doors and give away plenty of free booze (not that that's why I'm going ;-0 ). I will (try to, hang-over permitting) upload it on Friday.


Interview with Stik. When he calls me to do his next piece I will hot-foot it over and capture the action, while trying not to be as stupid as in our first interview (see bottom of the page)


That's all folks!
