In these austere times none of us can afford to leave that dam Oyster card on the mirror or Cd case at whichever den of iniquity, rubbing salt into the wounds of an already expensive evening out on the tiles. 86mm x 54mm plastic cards edition of 250.
So, tidying up the studio and trying to organise the place for a hopefully imminent move, i came across a number of the old Cans Festival posters from Banksy’s Leake Street event back in 2008. So seeing as they were so popular the first time round i decided to do a second edition. Its an edition of 25 numbered signed and blind stamped and available here. Price is £150 and they are going fast even before i post this.

Got some work in a show at the re launched Grafik London gallery in march
Loving these patches i just had made, they go with the “Dont drink the Koolaid” triptych. One will be framed and the rest stitched onto denim cushion covers.
Managed to pop a dollar onto cordy house in curtain road today, just about managed to squeeze it in above T.wat’s skeleton punk dog thing. Looks like it’s carrying the thing on its back.
Someone gave me a load of Time Out Banksy posters, so i had to have a go, didn’t i? Especially after the Cans posters a few years ago. Seemed a shame not too. Spray paint on Lithographic poster 68cm x 51 cm. Got 20 of them so there may be some more versions… buy them here
Initially this was half cut for the Diet Life work last year. Only half of the Dollar was needed in the composition, and as it took days to cut, a bloody good reason was needed to finish this finger destroying thing off. At last the reason was found and i finished this stencil off for the center piece of a commissioned work in Victoria, London.
The crew of ‘nutters’ behind Creative Routes ‘MUSES CAFE’ events are once more teaming up with campaigning organisation MAD PRIDE to stage a special event to mark the international ‘HOLOCAUST DAY’ memorial.
In Germany in the 1930’s the Nazi’s put out propaganda ‘newsreels’ showing images of mentally ill and disabled people alongside slogans telling the taxpaying population that these ‘degenerate’ people were costing them money to keep alive as a justification for the ‘final solution’ of exterminating them in the concentration camps.
MAD PRIDE are asking the question ‘how far does this differ from the current government and media propaganda which aims to label all welfare benefit recipients as ‘scroungers’?’
Vulnerable people at the bottom of the social ladder are once again being made to be the scapegoat for the bankers and capitalists reckless mishandling of the economy.
One more left to go in the “Dont drink the Koolaid” triptych.
Two Polaroid style canvases 65cm x 75cm. The third in production.
