Recently I collaborated with artist and friend Sonia Blair to produce a playground mural for Town Farm Primary School in the village of Stanwell. This was part of a much larger ongoing project by Signal Project for A2 Dominion housing. See our complete work at:
www.stanwell.signalproject.com.
This mural involved the pupils each painting an animal or insect which would then be cut out and placed on the mural once the Stanwell Scouts photographed them around the village. The theme for this mural was fusing video games with nature, so lots of green and some floating grass bits for the animals to stand on. I was getting flashbacks to Donkey Kong whilst painting this!

Mutate Britain
Thursday 9th October was the grand opening of 'One foot in the Grove', an exhibition and collaboration with the Mutoid Waste Company and a whole heap of artists.
The night consisted of some of the finest sculpture by the Mutoid crew set in the old Acklam Playcentre which I first had the pleasure of painting in 1997. My piece was a 'shrine' to graffiti.
Ladbroke Grove always has had a rich history and influence in UK graffiti. One of the first pieces painted in the UK was by Futura 2000 on the pillars under the Westway in 1982 whilst he was over with The Clash, who lived locally.
At the show I managed to collaborate with Zeus who made a sculpture of the word Mutate; also collaborating on this piece was local artist Natalie, who worked on the colour schemes.
The show runs until the 27th October and is well worth checking out.

Words in nature - Part 1
My latest project is to take inspiration from nature and use it to illustrate and form words. Nature and graffiti go together in a sense that I've spent enough time hiding in Foliage to really understand that there's something beautiful about having enough of the stuff around you in times of crisis.
Trees and plants are a great source of inspiration and these paintings are part of a series. keep watching...

West Coast All Star on Stockwell Park Estate
Legendary West Coast Artist SLICK passed through on Saturday to say "what's up!".
Slick has always been an inspiration and it was witnessing him and RISK win the Street Art Championships up in Bridlington in 1989 that really struck me and his battle with Hex at the Belmont Tunnel in LA was the essence of what real graffiti battles are about.
Go Google Slick and feed on some classic artwork.
Also check his new project www.dissizit.com

Carbon neutral?
This weeks production on the glorious Stockwell Park Estate was inspired by my recent trip to Westonbirt Arboretum's Tree Festival with Leigh and Sarah to meet up with Tom Hare. The idea of including nature within a urban setting would be great if it included tree sculptures but also a more imaginative use of the spaces and adding more design.
