DREDD SUCKS! – Judge Dredd Meets the Banana Republic | Jim Vision, Si Mitchell & Stocke Artworks | Shoreditch, London
“I AM THE LAW!”… But apparently even Judge Dredd needs a banana break! 🍌
A spectacular, larger-than-life tribute to the legendary British comic-book character Judge Dredd, painted by three talented street artists — Jim Vision, Si Mitchell and Stocke Artworks — near Grey Eagle Street / Great Eagle Lane in Shoreditch, East London.
Inspired by the unmistakable, hyper-energetic illustration style of Simon Bisley, whose artwork helped define an era of British comic-book culture, this enormous mural brings the outrageous world of 2000 AD crashing onto the streets of London.
The composition is a riot of comic-book action, outrageous humour and explosive colour.
On the left: A pair of futuristic characters appear locked in a dramatic confrontation, while the enormous words “DREDD SUCKS!” provide a suitably rebellious introduction.
In the centre: Judge Dredd himself dominates the scene, complete with his distinctive helmet, imposing shoulder armour and a wonderfully absurd addition — a banana! The accompanying “POW! POW!” lettering adds a touch of classic comic-book humour. Perhaps even the toughest lawman in Mega-City One appreciates a little potassium!
On the right: A spectacularly illustrated, heavily armed futuristic figure aims an enormous weapon towards the viewer, surrounded by concentric rings of fiery orange and red. The exaggerated mechanical details and dynamic perspective give this section an almost three-dimensional appearance.
The vertical lettering “JUDGE DREDD” unites the composition, while the artists' signatures and bold graphic details complete this wonderful celebration of British comic-book art.
A little Judge Dredd history
Judge Dredd first appeared in the British science-fiction comic 2000 AD in 1977, created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, with development contributions from editor Pat Mills.
Set in the dystopian future of Mega-City One, Dredd is a law-enforcement officer empowered to act as judge, jury and executioner.
The character became one of Britain's most recognisable comic-book antiheroes, renowned for dark satire, outrageous action and an uncompromising attitude towards law and order.
This mural also pays homage to Simon Bisley, the celebrated British comic-book artist famous for his muscular, exaggerated figures, dramatic compositions and distinctive painting style, particularly through his work on ABC Warriors and Slaine.
What makes this artwork especially enjoyable is the combination of serious artistic talent and gloriously irreverent humour. The attention to detail is extraordinary, and the banana is a brilliant finishing touch!
Another fantastic example of why Shoreditch remains one of London's most exciting outdoor art galleries.

after I drew this I time traveled back to 1987 and gave this to myself -
I wasn't alowed to buy 2000AD because it was too violent so naturally I coveted it most of all.

I've always been a fan of neon so I jumped at the chance last year to visit the God's Own Junkyard pop-up 'Electric City' exhibition in the Victorian Leadenhall Market. Several of the empty units had been transfomed into displays featuring their neon designs, some of which had featured in films like 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'Judge Dredd'.
By the way, we're holding our next London Flickr Group Photowalk on Sunday 20th February if you're interested in coming along. Click here for more details : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577198...
From the Leadenhall Market website, "Electric City is part of an exciting programme of events and activities to celebrate the full reopening of Leadenhall Market’s 35 boutique retailers, bars, restaurants and cafes after restrictions on indoor dining lift in line with step three of the government’s lockdown roadmap on no sooner than May 17th.
While Gods Own Junkyard’s Walthamstow paradise and Rolling Scones Cafe will continue to host their entire archive of neon and vintage signs, Electric City will allow them to bring out some of the key pieces to chart their own place within movie history.
Although the movie signs are not for sale, a walk-in installation and information hub will be open to the public on Wednesdays to Saturdays, with selected pieces available to purchase online via a Shopify site with item codes for virtual buyers. Further exciting events including guided tours and talks will also be announced in June and July, once government restrictions are fully relaxed from no sooner than 21st June.
Since founder and neon artist Chris Bracey passed away in 2014, Gods Own Junkyard has been in the care of his wife Linda and sons Mathew and Marcus, all neon makers and designers. They are delighted that the Leadenhall Market project has given them an opportunity to spotlight some of these iconic signs as a way of reflecting on their own history, in addition to their much-discussed Soho nostalgia."

Outside the gargantuan perimeter wall of Mega City One, Judge Dredd looks out into the vast stretches of the desolate landscape known as the "Cursed Earth." Armed with his Lawgiver handgun and sheathed in his Radcloak, Dredd prepares himself for the bandits and mutants that scour the sun-bleached wastes that lie beyond the relative safety of the megacities. The path to saving what little remains of civilization is wrought with terrors beyond the comprehension of many, but Dredd's fealty to his life as a Street Judge reaffirms his aspiration to "bring the Law to the lawless."
In a world where most comic book characters are owned by massive film and television corporations, I always find it both surprising and endearing that the continuing publication of the science-fiction comic magazine "2000 A.D." - including "Judge Dredd" and "Rogue Trooper" - are owned by a video game developer, that being Rebellion Developments. The same company that made the "Sniper Elite" series and several "Alien versus Predator" video games have since turned out to be a primary driver for the enduring legacy of the fantastical, surreal, grim, comedic, and engaging stories told in the "Judge Dredd" comics. If nothing else, Rebellion gets all the street credit in the world from me since they were able to get the "Judge Dredd" story with the McDonald's vs. Burger King gang war out of copyright limbo and available for everyone to read.

I usually seem to over-Photoshop these things. Start with a poor photo and try to 'shop my way out. Much better to start with a decent picture which requires very little processing.

I wrapped her waist in clingfim and heated the belt to get it to flex easily.
I thought I got the fit better earlier on - I heat-formed the belt around her to get it to sit tighter - but that seems to have faded so the tops of the pouches feel a bit loose. Oh well.
You can see the newly-edged zip here, and the contrast between the belt (detailed and shaded) vs the other green bits which just have airbrush shading.
I primed the bodysuit black and cut it back a bit with a Wave soft sanding stick. Then the metal bits got a couple of coats of decanted Tamiya gloss black lacquer which I polished up a little.
The metal is mostly Alclad Polished Brass with highlights of Pale Burnt Metal and some Sepia sprayed from below.
I masked off the suit to paint the eagle pauldron, once it's fully cured I need to carefully mask the pauldron to finish painting the suit. This seems a bit daft, but it allowed me to do the polishing early.

I used a stocking as a mask, and then applied a couple of coats of Light Sheen varnish, with a bit of flat on the folds and boundaries.
Custom Judge Dredd Minifig, all accessories were hand made, Helmet is a custom I made using the base of a Brick Forge Hoplite Helmet and built on from that.
This is of course based on the comic version of Dredd, not that ridiculous movie version staring Sylvester Stallone
