logan hicks

 check this guy out! not to my taste but loving the technique. i've no idea how he gets his stencils made - here, i can't even get a decent bnw print made! lol so no chance to try it.  website here 

conor harrington

conor harrington's work is just so diverse and fantastic. absolutely take the time to have a look and see what he's done as this image on its own is just not enough

nathan richard phelps

big bold monochrome grpahics. solid graffiti aesthetic - what's not to like with nathan richard phelps?

buff diss

tape art? i know nothing about it. but i'm not passing by what looks like buff diss's interpretation of vainamoinen in his boat!

hush

if i was emperor this would be what the streets looked like. check out hush

soklak elgato

art, music, calligraphy. is soklak elgato telling me i should be using my time more effectively?

more yazan halwani

yazan halwani

looking at yazan halwani's work feels like looking at old movie posters from a generation and language i don't understand. which, very possibly, is an entirely mistaken interpretation.

soemone

abandoned buildings, guerilla installation, strange made up alphabets. yeah, soemone ticks my boxes

tarek benaoum

calligraphy you say? just check tarek benaoum out!

el seed

print, graffiti, calligrpahy - el seed's work is just dazzling

1010

because street art should make the world better and more colourful

louis machai michel

how much would i like the end of our house to look like this! plus we like a bee so anything that raises awareness around ths issues facing bees these days is going to go down well with us, here's a video of louis machai michel and others at work (bees and a whole lot else).

dale vn marshall

 if i was living around coventry i'd be gatting me down to the herbert for a look at the dale vn marshall exhibit walls with wounds

things i'd paint in my garden

not the best of days today as 'work' we had done on the roof results in the last 24 hours of torrential rain being deposited from the roof and into our kitchen (don't ask!). i think maybe this is the final straw for this house and maybe we'll consider a move next year.

and, like one of my previous houses, that got me to thinking about what i'd like to be doing round about the garden. walled, enclosed spaces are ideal for some outside images, maybe some thing like these...

it would have to be in a space where only we could see it - even down here in the south if we were to paint our house the 'wrong' colour it would cause a stir that would put the shenanigans around our garden to shame.

which is a pity as a more colourful, more interesting urban landscape would be rather lovely i think.

more of these here and here. i'm also pleased that next time i'm in london i can get on a bike and be shown some wall based loveliness
