Pedpo?

I'm pretty sure that says, "PENFO".

maybe he was a big fan of the cartoon Danger Mouse who has a sidekick called Penfold and he ran out of paint.

Pedro I'm going to repost that at TB. Let me know if you want it rehosted. I don't think the traffic there is a big deal but maybe it is.

shouldn't be a problem

nice, not to sure what the bottom says though.

It's beautiful!

the bottom pieces read Blavoe and dyelk

from my flickr page explaining the days problems

This was hard work. The wall was soaking wet with condensation. We got through 8 rolls of kitchen roll dabbing the wall to dry it but it didn't stop with the condensation. The snow was melting and it washed all the white off the wall. I seemed to spend all day painting up some ladders with nothing more than a 6" masonry brush to get paint in all the recessed pointing of the bricks.
Me Gnasher and Dyelk went back on the Sunday to try and rescue what was left. it had rained through the night and the blue had dripped all over the lower pieces. I was back on 6" masonry brush duty. Blavoe, I did as much as I could to rescue your piece mate, but it was in a right old mess.

My input for this piece was the Merry Christmas east London part, plus some tidying up.

This kind of stuff reminds me that I have no discernable artistic talent. Sigh...

Now, don't take this the wrong way (your work is all excellent), but I feel like I can tell that this piece was rushed, and I assume it was because it was an illegal wall.

Do you find that quality suffers when you're hitting illegal spots? Got any good stories about tagging private walls?

I was kind of hoping that I wouldn't be dragged back into the illegal side of things, but it's hard to resist when the illegal stuff makes your adrenalin surge. I haven't got any photos of what we are doing because it's not sensible to attract attention to yourself with a camera flash in the pitch black. I'm on the roof in this photo 2nd from right, breaking into the Upminster Yards on Monday night. I was gob smacked that mid way through breaking in Kevin whipped out his camera and took a fucking photo.

We did 2 top to bottom whole cars in under half an hour. f*ck me it was the most fun I've had in 25 years.

Bring on Christmas Day. That's when we'll go to town.

He's a social hero. There's a message here, folks.

My paint stock.

is "me Julie" happy with this?


that's a shit load of paint.

DAZMCFC wrote:is "me Julie" happy with this?

She doesn't really mind to tell you the truth. It's my money. I could go and spend it on maggots and throw 'em in the water whilst fishing, £20 to whack a ball into the rough or pay £15 for a ticket to watch the Orient get thumped...
today i wish i had of thrown £20 in the river instead of what I painted.

Must try harder.

It's all about he subtleties. I like it. It seems to glow.

I quite like the colours and never say you'd rather go fishing.

He tried harder. I like the Pedro one the best, because that's how I know you.
Who's Lucy?

I noticed the different labels on the paint cans. But nothing from the states. Are they all that special spray?
I also noticed that you have your own sense of colors, but that you don't use a lot of white. Do you favor that one for lighting?

Lucy is my baby daughter.
The cans i buy are either from Spain or Germany. There is another can which is becoming more popular due to price (it's about a pound 50 for a 400ml can) but i wont buy that because it's made in china. I tend to buy the majority of my paint from the firm that makes it in Spain because they are in a lot of financial shit (the country, not the spray can firm) the chinese can f*ck right off.

I don't use a lot of black or white. apart from either having a black wall as a back ground, because when you walk into a graffiti shop and see roughly 250 different colours on sale - you tend to just ignore the black and white and fill your bag with the mad colours they sell.

I keep meaning to do a piece with a really dark fill, but haven't got round to it so far.

Thanks for following the thread juan

this is some cool stuff, I assume people paint over others work eventually is it generally worse work they paint over?

What tends to happen is that someone does a colourful piece, then it gets dogged by kids, then the most dogged piece gets painted over. This is what I painted on Sunday

Painted this whilst waiting for the emulsion to dry on the main wall..
