Here's a recent addition to the series of paintings I am producing on the Stockwell Park Estate.

Space Cadets

Pimlico Academy

I recently paid a visit to Pimlico Academy to do a one day workshop on T-shirt designing.
Working with the year 8 and 9 students the idea was for each student to come up with an image or a logo that represented their identity.
Stage one was to draw the idea and then to transfer the image onto card to cut out as a stencil. This would then be sprayed onto the shirt with paint. As you can see the final results were impressive for these first timers!

Souls of Mischief.

Souls Of Mischief recently paid a visit to the capital for a date at the Jazz Cafe and an in store signing at the Carhartt store on Neal Street, Covent Garden.
I collaborated with DJ Sarah Love to produce a canvas to be given away on her show this week. My concept was to take the Hieroglyphics crew logo and give it a little tweaking. The piece you see here is not the finished article but that will be done at the end of the week.

Souls Of Mischief produced one of Hip Hops greatest anthems '93 til Infinity' back in the day. (Can you guess the year?). As part of the Hieroglyphics crew they pushed the creative side of rap beyond a lot of the cliched rhymes a lot of MCs Spit.

Check out their exclusive interview this Friday from 1am on DJ Sarah Loves show here.
Also, check out the video on www.spinetv.net for a record of the evening, a glimpse at Souls performing, an interview and other stuff.

Still got love for the streets... apart from potholes.

I recently heard a really good quote, that if you want the world to change then you must first change yourself.

It's so easy to have a perception that we live in a harsh environment but when you compare our living to those less fortunate we have got a real good lifestyle. With that thought in mind I decided to design the ultimate ride combining my favourite colour with a few touches that will take the 'Rage' out of the road. Check out the ride outside Brixton tube, it's been there a week and counting. Show some love people.

Still got love for Poundland.

Where will I spend my happy days?....Market Estate N7

Saturday 6th March saw the opening for one day of a huge project involving over 75 artists located on the Market Estate on North Road N7.
I was invited to participate in the project and instantly fell in love with the space I was given.
Estates are weird places in a sense that strangers make their lives together or alternatively people can live out reclusive lives on their own.
I tasked myself to paint out all the rooms under the theme 'Where will I spend my happy days?'
The first week was spent totally transforming the garden and the shed and getting rid of the rubbish which seemed endless. During the painting I met the previous tenant Andrea and her children who managed to tell me a little history of the place and their memories of living on the Market Estate.
Whilst clearing out the shed I found a fascinating stack of books from a deceased tenant including a 50s book on magic and a racist titled book since re-titled and written by none other than Agatha Christie.
The Market Estate is soon to be demolished along with the work. You can see the project here and a film version here

On the day, some of the artwork was given away including a huge teddy from the kitchen and some specially made hand cut miserable wood flowers.
