Banksy bristol show- confirmed!

Posted: May 22nd, 2009 | Author: graggregator | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »

So then, having said this blog’s not going to deal in rumours over the possibility of there being a banksy show in Bristol, turns out there’s no need.

Just had it 100 percent confirmed by a cast iron source, banksy will be opening a show in Bristol in June.

Should be interesting!


Actual Graffiti On Jamaica Street

Posted: May 22nd, 2009 | Author: graggregator | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »

PRSC’s great, but a lot of the work down there does tend to be pretty ‘inclusive’ and often a bit fine arty around the edges. Check out what’s replaced the really top work Vermin, Jody and Warp had done on Armada Place a couple of weeks ago.

Not sure if this is the finished work or not.

So it’s pretty funny to see what looks like some late night pissed scribbling on the PRSC boards on Jamaica Street at the moment, doesn’t seem to be getting removed that quickly either, though sure it will when the next people come along to paint them up.

Good work Mr L!

Incidentally, the work done at the PRSC painting weekend last weekend is going to be sold at a dutch auction over the next couple of weeks. Opens tonight at 7:30pm, and goes on until the 5th of June. Here’s the flyer business…

Carlsbad Sidewalk Surfer by bryan snyder from Bryan Snyder on Vimeo.

From Bryan:

Carlsbad Sidewalk Surfer interacts with its environment during mid day wind gusts. Like the waves that tumble upon our shore, the visibility of this art piece depends on the weather. Between the glassy conditions of the morning and the mellow winds at dusk, the Carlsbad Sidewalk Surfer sneaks into another ride. The goal of this project is to showcase the relationship between a piece of art and its environment when placed in the streets.”
