Now here's an adage that i couldn't agree with more. 'Always read the label' is one of the sound bits of advice that plenty of people choose to ignore until it's a little too late. Usually it's referring to Ikea cabinets or medicines or somesuch but in this case it's pertaining to the young lady with 'Danger!' prominently emblazoned on her top. Despite her dubious attractions to ignore such advice can only lead to trouble...
It was Thursday last week when we were contacted by Global Street Art and asked if we'd be interested in decorating some hoardings on Saturday just 20 mins from home down Elephant and Castle way. As we're now smart enough to have something ready on standby for just such an occasion we leapt at the chance and opted for a large scale adaptation of a design we'd done a small A3 edition of a short while ago (if anyone is interested I think we still have a few of them left!)
Due to the size of the space and the fact we had all day to do it we decided to go for one of our chaotic layered backgrounds rather than a plain one as per the original design. There was certainly enough traffic passing by and plenty were happy to stop and see what we were up to. Towards the end of the day we managed to convince Hicks it was a good idea to extend his piece into ours slightly which I think gives better continuity to the whole wall. All in all it was a great day and the icing on the cake was a mere 15 drive back home. Winner.
Cheers

As I'm not a journaling expert, I did a tribute to Margaret Mee, English botanical artist and conservationist who lived in Brazil for more than 30 years and specialized in plants from the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.

This wonderful piece of mail art arrived in my mail this afternoon!
Merci, Nathalie, du fond de mon coeur pour ce chef-d'oeuvre. Merci pour la petite rose, le morceau de poésie d'Anatole France et -- last but not least -- les timbres franćais dont j'aime surtout Marianne et le coq. Vous avez la sensibilité d'un poète. Et maintenant, au travail, pour vous retourner le compliment!

Many people believe that graffiti attracts crime. I believe that really good graffiti eases the souls of all who live in the community. It's creative, decorative, up-lifting, and inspirational (for me, at least!)
