The Tall Wall at Dean Lane has been attacked with something lately, and it's shot off the paint getting right back to original bricks and mortar. It's been painted for over 20 years - so strange to see the bricks, and the layers of paint

Graff on TV all this week!

All this week the 3 Minute Wonder slot that happens every day at 7.55pm on Channel 4 is on streetart.

Today's is looking at London, with Sweet Toof, Eine and No Nose. (Sweet Toof, of course, is part of Burning Candy, and has had lots of stuff on the streets of Bristol)

Wednesday's is on Blek Le Rat in Paris, Thursday's is on Nuno and Nuria in Madrid, and Friday's looks like it's on the Bonham's auction....

There's also a documentary on graff on Sky 1 at 9pm and ITV 1 at 11.5pm tonight (if you're in the ITV West zone) - Graffiti - from tags to riches - with Sickboy, Xenz and Cyclops (who's also part of Burning Candy... those boys are getting around!)

Dreweatt's urban art show - Paintworks, 6th - 10th Jun

Dreweatt's are having an auction of urban art in London on 17th June, and as part of the pre-sales stuff, are having a show of work at Paintworks on 6th - 10th June.

I can't quite work out if everything in the sale is also on show in Bristol, but if it is, it's a chance to see work by Keith Haring, Banksy, Faile, Nick Walker, as well as a whole host of Bristol artists like Motorboy, Paris, Mudwig, Dora, Cyclops, FLX, Rowdy and more

There's more on the paintworks website here and on the Dreweatt's website here
, where you can have a look at the catalogue for the auction - lots of lovely things....

Newcastle - New Line graffiti show, 6th and 7th June

face, originally uploaded by knautia.

I've been to Newcastle a couple of times, and I love their graffiti scene - and the lovely people who showed me around and told me where to find it. If I was up there in the next few weeks I'd definitely go to the New Line graffiti show at the End Bar, 6th and 7th June.

They're keeping exactly who's showing under wraps at the mo' - but check their website for previous shows they're done: here and here.

Ah, Newcastle....
