Posted by Nicole @ 10:29 AM June 29, 2009

In no particular order...

* 2007 Last ever ever Trash at The End. Dancing till 4am and having to be at work 4.5 hours later. Thanks, Erol! Amazing times I had.

* 2006 Going to Paris for Allors Les Filles, On Fete Noel?. Taking a late afternoon Eurostar, go to the party, having too much fun and taking the first Eurostar in the morning back to London.
* 2006-2008 Having an obsession for men with beatmachines (Holy Fuck, Zombie-Zombie, Slagsmallsklubben etc.).
* 2007-2008 Seeing Late of the Pier 12 times and still not being bored of them.

C215 @ Signal Gallery - the photos

Posted by Nicole @ 08:46 AM June 20, 2009

What can I say? Like I said below, C215's work is amazing, inspiring and most definitely the best around at the moment. All my respect!

The exhibition is running until 11th July and it is at Signal Gallery (Curtain Road, London).

Load @ Royal Albert Hall

Posted by Nicole @ 11:50 PM June 15, 2009

So, Royal Albert Hall is embracing and encouraging street art, eh? Artists from the Wonderland Collective (thanks to Daydream Network) have been working hard since Thursday to make RAHs loading bay perfectly amazing. The artists are: Ben Slow, Eyesaw, Dan Kitchener, Snik, Blam, Grafter, Babel, Finbarr DAC and DBO.

The loading bay is open to the public on Monday 22nd June, but I managed to sneak in earlier this evening.

Banksy vs Bristol Museum

Posted by Nicole @ 11:30 PM June 15, 2009

In secrecy Banksy has made a big part of the Bristol Museum his. The museum was closed on Thursday and Friday last week, so that Banksy and his workers could transform the museum into Banksy vs Bristol Museum. The exhibition runs until 31st August and is most definitely a trip worth down to Bristol.

C215 solo show in London - Shoeshiners

Posted by Nicole @ 02:42 PM June 12, 2009

I think I can say that I am quite excited about C215's first solo show in London's Signal Gallery. The show is titled Shoeshiners. Its name comes from C215's many trips around the world to countries such as India and Morocco and having met many shoeshiners in those countries. (example)

So far I have only seen C215's work out on the street and therefore I am really excited to see his work being framed.

For those who do not know C215, he is a French stencil artist and makes in my opinion one of the most amazing inspiring art. Check out his Flickr page on www.flickr.com/photos/c215

Upfest '09 in Bristol

Posted by Nicole @ 01:36 PM June 07, 2009

For the 2nd time running Upfest had over 100 artists painting live in 5 venues in Bristol. I loved it! It was especially very interesting to see the progress of a painting and in particular those from Hush, Guy Denning, Dale Grimshaw and David Walker. I took million of photos as usual and a few of them are pictured below and more of them are on Flickr.
