An old flick from 1993 of a little known one man HOF basically with Mao roughing an outline on a piece..
I'm not sure if this place is still there, it was in Llanrumney behind some flats that Hoxe once lived at.
It was perfect because he could paint when he wanted, also the neighbours where cool.
What the story is, We recently had a large shipment of free paint from dupi-colour's paint factory in Stockport, They sent us a palette of damaged, discontinued colours, most of it worked fine, man there was so much paint we never had enough places to put it all.
Though Mr Hoxe was very willing to look after some of the paint lol, and made good use of it too in this spare waste ground behind his flat at the time.
The place was big He painted most of it too, He'd go and do something when he felt like it with coffee only a few yards away..lol..
I don't think we took photos of everything there, which was very typical of us..
Also before digi cameras, you'd forget, loose or not bother taking film photos, I wish we documented all our photos from Bombing buses, I mean they where battered by everyone active in this city, but looked great esp at night with different colour tags on the windows, panels, even floors when there was no room left...
Also, All the chromies as we nicked named them back then on the mainline tracks. a lot of flicks we did snap where took by BTP during the raids, called Operation Anderson, in this City, Bristol, Birmingham , Bath, Exeter, Plymouth, etc. I'd wish to get them pictures again, and the pictures BTP took themselves to gain evidence against us for the case.
I can imagine a retired BTP officer with pound signs in his eye's, waiting on a gold mine of U.K. photos from so many raids and cases, ready to publish in some book, like the NYC vandal squad, did with there book.or some smart arse lawyer able to gain access to the thousands upon 1000's. of flicks stored away in some vault or room?
Nice one..
