The piece was originally much much bigger. By the time I arrived in La Tabacalera the whole right hand side had been painted over by something else.... Continue Reading →
It's always nice when you meet an artist who's work you like and they turn out to be super nice. Case in point, I met the wonderful Dilk1 whilst he was on his annual visit to Barcelona late last year. I had seen on Dilk's IG story that he was working on a piece at the famous... Continue Reading →

I've explained to you before that I sometimes don't 'get' burners. My tastes are slowly changing however and that's down to artists like Emak. Simply put... Continue Reading →

Oooooft what a great weekend I've just had. I was back in Berlin for the second time this year. Despite the weather I managed to catch up with the majority of the murals I missed the first time around. Notice how I said majority, there's never enough time to see it all. I wonder if...
