A few months ago I went out on a late night adventure with Dutch artist and Barcelona resident Ivesone. The plan was for Ives to paint a huge illegal piece on an abandoned building we knew of in the Poblenou area of Barcelona. My idea was to do a time lapse of the whole process.... Continue Reading →
This week´s Wednesday wall was a bit of a surprise find. The Wallspot run Forum beach is a really cool spot but it´s pretty out of the way. So despite my best intentions I don´t make it down there all that often. I did think I had been there semi recently but clearly It's been... Continue Reading →
Back in July I wrote a little bit about the No Callarem collective call for action in Barcelona. The movement was created for artists to fight against freedom of speech oppression´s across Spain. The weekend of July 21st and 22nd was chosen for artists to paint as a form of free expression in the public space.... Continue Reading →

Apologies in advance for the quality of photos in this week's column. There really isn't a great deal of room to step back and shoot this particular wall. I could really do with a wide angle lens... if any one wants to sponsor me one ya know, that would be lovely! So sadly this piece... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday readers, hope you all had great weekends and are not feeling the Monday blues! This week's round up as decided by the Instagram algorithm gods features some fantastic pieces by a mix of artists and styles. I have work by Albert Bonet (again) Bronik (and her cute dog) and Irony. So let's dive... Continue Reading →
My good buddy Tim Marsh worked like a man possessed in 2018. With his Poblezoo project, multiple festival appearances & gallery shows in HK, it's been an incredibly busy time for him. It's great to see such a talented and hard working artist following his dreams and achieve so much in a year. Tim has... Continue Reading →
