Soker show 30th January

OK, all I know about this one is that the amazing Soker, the absolute king of Wildstyle, is having a show tomorrow at the Golden Lion Pub on the Gloucester Road. No idea what time it starts (guessing maybe 7? 8?) assuming some kind of music and painting, and I *think* it's on for 4 weeks.

But everyone should go, just in case, because Soker is incredible, I love the way he just rocks up and makes the most amazing lettering, beautiful style. My pics of his stuff here

The photos I made this with were much too dark as it was before 8am, but it's the Deaner in the snow - winter wonderland!

Sometimes I feel like I need to give more context to the graff - and at the moment all 3 of the walls at the bottom of the Deaner look fantastic.

This should really be printed out huge, taped into a circle and worn round your head, revolving slowly...

Also circular graff in a way - Ziml slope to Ziml & Cheo, to Cheo & Boswell to Boswell, Soker, 3dom, Turroe, Shade One & Pen - woo!

If you click through the photo you'll find links to the individual walls

There's so much that's good on this wall - Boswell, Soker, 3dom, Turroe, Shade One and Pen... Superb!

Children of the Can Jam!

Dicy-Soker-Feek-Ponk, originally uploaded by knautia.

It was a freezing weekend, but despite the sub-zero temperatures and Arctic winds off the Avon, a huge posse of fabulous and talented writers from waaaaay back in the day through to the brandest of new mustered on the harbourside to paint the Bristol Museum fence.

All this choreographed by FLX, in honour of the publication of Children of the Can: 25 Years of Bristol Graffiti. For more info, see FLX's blog here... Had such a good time, meeting people whose stuff I've loved from the book (and being too shy to say hello to others - if you ever read this, hello!) as well as catching up with a whole load of people I admire... Am just about thawed out, and i just turned up at the ends and took pics!

Because of cold, life, all sorts of things, the fence isn't finished yet... but watch this space for the joiner to end all joiners in a few weeks... and in the meantime enjoy these - with more here

Children of the Can - it's here!

Looky looky, Check the booky!, originally uploaded by knautia.

You might have noticed me wittering about this already, but the book is out!

FLX, a highly respected writer who's been painting Bristol on and off for over 20 years, has just published "Children of the Can: 25 years of Bristol Graffiti. FLX has interviewed pretty much all the major writers who've painted the city, and put it in the context of the politics and society... he's got superb photos that span graff from right back in the day to just a month or so again. I have to admit, it includes some of my pics too - but I've got no financial interest in it at all.

It's bloody good! You can see bits that didn't fit into the book on FLX's blog here, and order it from the publishers here.....
