Across The Tracks and Through The Looking Glass

Mutate Britain Winter Show Picture Heavy Post part 2

2009.12.11

We kick off part two of this post with the golden age train writer Cazbee 53 from DSS Crew Da Sure Shots, from Ladbroke Grove piecing the outer wall of the MuTate Britain mechanical zoo….Many of Cazbees pieces rolled past this spot on trains,or were under the Westway itself.

Now he’s back 20 years later, along with oldskool steel writers Fuel, Skore, Mear, Crok, Don myself and a few of London’s more new skool to take the vibe back to the raw, enabling a potent and complementary mix of the hardcore underground vibes and tribes….

The ‘Other Side’ Live Painting Event On Now

2009.11.05

My good mate, the inimitable Stik, launches his very first art event this week in the East End in the very posh sounding Mile End Arts Pavilion a stunning gallery space with a glass frontage overlooking a small lake.

It runs to the end of the month in which time it will be transformed…..Stik will be painting live onto panels that line the building, so will myself, aswell as Fuel (Cold Crush Dukes), Spat (1Time), Ted Baden (Mutoid Waste) Milo and many others.

Come down for a cuppa and shoot the breeze ‘til you’re bewildered with a load of solvent damaged compulsives; you could even take a panel home to build a funky BMX ramp for the wife’s Christmas present or maybe even that kennel for the Vicar’s pitbull….(or you could just stick ‘em on the wall, yawn…)

 

Here’s Stik’s Press Release

Silhouettes with spray-cans glinting in the darkness have long journeyed through the East End to the austere walls of the rail arches in Mile End, an underground showcase of underground art.

Now, in broad daylight, the elegant new Mile End Arts Pavilion opens its doors to some of the most notorious graffiti artists in East London.

This unique venue offers the opportunity for you, the viewer to observe from behind glass or get down and dirty with the artists painting LIVE! (Protective masks are available on the door)

Each week will feature a new wave of artists, sourced locally with a smattering of special guest painters.

Show is open each Wednesday to Sunday from 12-6 pm

Wednesday 4th November – Sunday 29th November.

Press Day Saturday 8th November

Other Side Press Kit- Poster

Stik

Stik promo Other Side

 

Stik curates the show and appears in it. Featuring in the Mutoid Waste Company’s current headlining event in Ladbroke Grove under the Westway, Stik is also the alternative artist featuring in this week’s Big Issue Magazine.

Whilst producing murals for authorities such as Waltham Forest and British Waterways, Stik’s black and white figures have illicitly been lurking in the cityscape for almost a decade.

Stik is proud to present a hand-picked cross-section that showcases some of the most talented and innovative artists on both the local and global stage.

Elate

A graffiti writer from London’s 1980s heyday Elate’s vision transformed and he has painted classically in oils for the last 20 years under his real name, Jon Hammer.

Now Elate is back painting the streets of East London fresher than ever. Inspired by his surreal and apocalyptic discoveries in the studio he is truly pushing the limits of the art form.

Fuel

Fuel promo 'Other Side'

Universally regarded as one of the true Kings of London’s ‘Golden Era’ of train graffiti, Fuel’s multi-coloured emissions are once more adorning the public domain.

Milo

DIGITAL CAMERA

 

A Brazilian artist prolific on the streets of East London, Milo takes an abstract figurative approach relating to nature, human behaviour, the mind, its’ movements and ways of manifesting. This results in dense, mind-boggling colour-scapes.

See Milo’s online shop here

Spat

 Spat promo Other Side

For the last 12 years Spat has enjoyed exploring and painting the streets and derelict wasteland and tracksides of east London. Initially a pure-street ‘graffiti-bomber’ in recent years he has progressed to full colour pieces, commissions and screen prints.

 

 

Teddy Baden

 Teddy Baden promo Other Side

Teddy Baden is part of the Mutoid Waste collective, his compulsions and love of dogs led to experimenting stencilling techniques, using varying sizes and characters of over four hundred breeds; viewing them almost as ‘alien creatures’ Teddy shows an interest in the ‘hairy ones’ almost like someone would tree types or cloud formations.

 

Run

Run promo Other Side

 

In a style of his own Italian artist Run uses brush and roller to create giant, polychrome heads and faces on the streets for which he has become known and widely published.

Map picture

Also appearing ;

Snoe, Smaki, Grems, Stenzilla, Suns, Roots plus many more to be confirmed.

Centrepoint Homeless Charity Graffiti Project

2009.09.23

Having been a homeless person myself once I know how difficult it can be to try to satisfy your creative needs when you are busy all day trying to fulfil the most basic human requirements of shelter, food, personal hygiene and warmth.

Such vital needs for expression don’t however just go away.

In the face of your predicament; the absence of  basic essentials of survival often accompanied by family and relationship breakdown, loss of work, self esteem and sometimes even addiction issues, self expression becomes more vital than ever.

The solace and the comfort gleaned from some small expression of  ones soul, however small, may be the fuel that keeps the inner fire of selfhood burning.

Even a token flourish of pencil or paint, or arrangement of words into prose, is enough to scream ‘I am somebody’  if only to yourself, and that can sometimes mean the difference between two very different paths.

So when Damion Mulrain from the homeless charity Centrepoint from London’s Soho contacted me to ask if I could give a little of my time to pop into their Summer University graffiti project to chat about formulation of ideas, can control and give a few pointers on graffiti, I was delighted to oblige.

Damion has a strong background in graphics and the arts, and is passionate about his work with Centrepoint, so he was able to run and organise the course very effectively himself with the help of his colleague Louisa, my role was merely to enhance his skills with a touch of oldskool authenticity and be there to guide the young people and answer questions when they came up. I also lent the project my collection of graffiti books a few days beforehand and Damion got them all practising on paper long before the cans came out…..

We needed to start simply of course….

throw up centrepoint cropped

…and after watching my demonstration of basic techniques extremely intently….

DSC03041

DSC03046

…everyone seemed to approve …

…so we all decided it was high time to get cracking with some free expression…..

DSC03053

…all of their own….

DSC03056

 

DSC03058

 …and really started to pull some fine ideas out of the bag…

DSC03057

DSC03061

…with the idea of learning some basic can-control skills.

DSC03139

…which they followed up on day two with some more substantial concepts of their own.

DSC03170

 

DSC03147 

Everyone was given the full range of equipment to do all kinds of graffiti, including scalpels and cardboard to make stencils, and despite being warned how much more difficult it was to get a pleasing effect, everyone chose to work freehand.

DSC03162 …along with other staff members who dropped in…

DSC03166

…seemed to be having just as much fun…..

as the residents themselves!

DSC03173

Not bad for beginners, huh?

 DSC03198

DSC03183 Drip control strategy in full operation…

DSC03203

The rabbit character between the letters ‘SB’ begins to take form….

DSC03188

Despite how it may look this really is HYDE’s first ever piece, outline and work totally his own, just a few pointers from me….

DSC03192

The others too, seemed to take to the task very well indeed, and were rightly pleased with their results.

Lots of fun was had by all. Thanks so much to Damion and Louise for inviting me take part and thanks to all the young people from the project for for allowing me to help them with their expression and to witness them pinning down their visions and ideas so beautifully.  Good luck to all for the future!

Thanks also to the guys at Chrome and Black paint shop for looking after Damion and Louisa, nice one!

andy seize lessons

Do you love graffiti? Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn but didn’t fancy getting arrested or even know where to start. Maybe you’ve tried tags or stencils and would like to learn can control skills and freehand techniques…Maybe your kids have already redecorated the garage and are running out of space or maybe you’d like to paint a message to someone special and have the photo emailed to them…

If this sounds like you it is your lucky day. Make those ideas become reality, develop your style, paint a burner.

Andy Seize is doing separate lessons for both adults and kids in Hackney, East London. Ages seven up are welcome to come and learn from a proper oldskool writer.

Lessons are very reasonably priced and all paint, safety equipment and even photos are included in the cost, just bring your ideas.

See full details and book online at Andy’s blog here.

London Handstyles: Book Launch Tags

2009.08.16

The London Handstyles book is out now featuring tags by a selection of London graffiti writers from the mid eighties to the present, many who were considerably more prolific than myself. The launch party was on Friday in Rarekind Gallery below Chrome and Black graffiti art supplies shop on Bethnal Green Road by Brick Lane.

It was great to meet certain influential oldskool legends for the first time and to hook up with old friends.

The book is for anyone who wants to know more about the roots of the movement, reminisce about the mad old days or learn how to bomb their name effectively. Here’s a few shots from the party- I’ve posted pics of the handstyles rather than the heads who write ‘em.

Petro: Old-School Writer-Solo Show

2009.07.25

Hats off to old school graffiti writer Petro for putting on a smashing opening night. His exhibition is just off Brick Lane at The Old Rag Factory on Heneage Street.

Petro is showing lots of affordable paintings and prints based on the letter-form alongside more quirky and conceptual stuff.

It makes a refreshing change to see artists who are actually passionate and animated by showing their work, that is what it is all about in my book anyway and gave the evening a brilliant atmosphere.

To rock graffiti letters on panels and make it work is hard but Petro pulls it off with awesome style, check the pictures….

Petro’s show is only on this weekend 25th and 26th July 12-7 pm so I would make every effort to get down there if you can possibly manage it. There is a map further down the page, nearest tube Aldgate East,Whitechapel or Liverpool Street.

Petro has a website here
