I’ve always loved the style of street art collective The London Police (and am even more fond of the fact that they trump the real London Police Force in Google searches). It’s bold, fun and intrinsically linked to the Hip Hop culture we all know and love through thick black lines and shell toe sneakers. [...]
Wading through the highest beard to face ratio this side of a lumberjack convention, it’s easy to think of Shoreditch as simply that place where people with fashion sense I will most likely never understand congregate to trade stories of managing to stop their bikes without brakes back to back drinking fresh trade coffee. However, [...]
Pop surrealist David Shillinglaw came up painting walls in a playful, illustrative style full of colour, words and interaction and has since had a successful gallery career over the past decade. His most recent show, My Idea of Fun is currently at Stolenspace gallery in the Truman Breweries just off East London’s Brick Lane and [...]
Despite the coldest March since whatever ridiculously long ago year the weatherman’s plucked out of the archives, London’s street art contingency has remained busy as ever.

French street artist Tilt recently visited Atlanta, the sister city of his hometown Tolouse, after being invited to participate in the Elevate Atlanta Art Festival. Painting a massive mural of the American flag comprised of the names of the local residents that passed him, it’s a really nice project that obviously touched those in the [...]
December was a busy time. Between falling asleep under Christmas trees and consuming all of Scotland’s whisky, we managed to fit in a trip to your favourite European city, chill with foxes and even listen to some music. As always, there was a camera to hand, so here’s a few flicks from the film of [...]
January’s slice of visual cake comes slightly late, purely because we’ve been so busy on the oral side of things, but I’d like to think that the ammount of steeze displayed below makes up for that somewhat…
São Paulo based street artist Cranio’s blue indigenous characters have been brightening up walls worldwide for a while now, playing on the idea of the city as a jungle with bold and light hearted scenes that you can’t help but smile at.
