Ivesone – Illegal to legal
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 →
Wednesday wall #46
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 →

For this... Continue Reading →

I love to share art from wherever I have been on my travels and I also try and bring some attention to some other scenes that might fly under the radar. I'm Scottish, from Aberdeen...

Wednesday wall #45
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 →

Tim Marsh Painting in Utopia
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 →
