Big Green Wasps

Got sent this a while back, think more work’s been done on it now, but given the props given to the Lib Dem Mark Wright the other day for digging into the issue of graf and the council, here’s something for a bit of political balance, what with elections coming up and all.

A work painted for the Green Party office in Old Market by Mark “Skip” Courtney, definitely more ’street art’ than graf as such, but a very good solution to prettying up a boarded up window over nonetheless.

Don’t want to leave the other two parties out of name checking in the name of balance here, so if anyone’s seen a Labour councillor piecing down by the tracks recently, or perhaps a Conservative trying to go all city, do send the snaps in.

Thanks to TonyD for sending it in.


Skate Park, Barnstaple, Needs Your Paint

Posted: May 29th, 2009 | Author: graggregator | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »

Had this in from a reader, if anyone fancies a spot of painting by the seaside as the weather gets more sunny?

There is a new Skatepark just been opened in Barnstaple North Devon which offers a plethora of fresh smooth grey surfaces on which no fair hand has taken his skills as yet.. and to be honest with the talent in Barnstaple having moved away to the cities years ago its likely to get scrawled over with the likes of ‘I wos ere” etc….

So the point of this insert is to advertise the fact that there may be the chance for our array of fine talent to utilise their skills here in a commissioned piece or similar

As ever, if you fancy it, get in touch and we’ll hook you up.
