Patio de Maravillas
This was something I found through the superb Urban Art trail, put together by Guillermo de Madrid for the Unofficial Tourism strand of Madrid Abierto - we'd passed the end of the street a few nights before, but hadn't gone down it, which would've been gutting if I hadn't seen this. I didn't see Guillermo's blog until this morning, which was our last in Madrid, but I wish I'd seen it earlier, it's full of amazing things, you should definitely look. (Massive thanks to dug da bug for pointing me in that direction, and also for all the info on Madrid writers)
(We only found the Unofficial Tourism caravan on our penultimate day, otherwise I would have done all the tours... especially the "bars over 100 years old" tour... and the flourescent lights tour.... and the rest of the urban arts tour.... The thing I liked best about it the brochure, though, was the words about the Cañada Tour - really hard-hitting)
Anyway, I'm back in Bris now, with about 11 films to develop and a massive backlog of Madrid graff - as I get around to it, I'll put it up in my flickr set if you're interested - but in the meantime, here's a wall we found earlier today...

Spanish train graff
Taken out of the car window, at speed, amazed I got a shot, but the whole train was covered

Aagh and Arrrgh! in Barcelona
It made me smile, seeing a bit of Sickboy in Barcelona last month... also got a little tiny Arrrgh! sticker - which is worth checking out, it's a project designed to take over the world, through people downloading stickers and other stuff and putting them up all over the world.... I love their website, I loved their stuff up around Barcelona, I'd love to see them infect Bristol as well...

Barcelona, not Bristol!
In Barcelona for a week - gorgeous, amazing city with beautiful, exciting graff. Pics of it in my set here . Sunshine, graff, red wine and general fabulousness....

Tate Modern streetart tour
A few weeks ago I did the Tate Modern Streetart walking tour - which is a walking tour to see pieces done by invited artists round the streets of Southwark. It was the strangest thing - I come from SE London, and seeing Southwark all gentrified (and touristy!) is a real shock. Plus to have a walking tour taking place in a determinedly graff-free environment.... it's ok to invite over 'names' from other countries, but there was all kinds of evidence of buffing, and little sign of homegrown talent except in Mint Street Park.... plus bits and pieces were missing - either badly marked on the map, or, we suspected, stolen.... some are finadable if you look hard enough, others just aren't there at all... it is always good to have tours through places you wouldn't normally go, but I was kind of seething about what felt like an underlying message - the fact Tate (like the Baltic when it created the tour that accompanied the Spank the Monkey show last year) can choose which graff writers are importable artists - while the local scene is ignored and not worthy of even looking at.
(the honorable exceptions were pointing at exisiting graff in Rose Alley, and the huge fabulous production in Bear Gardens.... wish there'd been more like that...)
It's on until 25th August anyway..... yeah, I know it's not Bris, but if you're near there in the next few months, check it out and see what you think. My photos of it are here

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