A drawing of Futura, I did while a break in toothache I've had since Thursday, of which the timing couldn't of been more worse which ill explain later on.
This drawing of Futura I got, from pausing a online documentary about an art show by Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Retna, Martha Cooper, Mode2, Invader, etc.
I've never seen it before, its pretty interesting the questions it raises about how graffiti is looked at today from when it begun in New York and Philly over 40 years ago, with views expressed from the artists, The gallery and of-cause the Law.
Its sad to learn how severe sentences are, still.. When compared too, (in my opinion) much worse crimes to persons, than painting on public walls. 
Its an interesting view on how graffiti, is seen in the eyes of the art world too. I'm glad it shows a range of different artists like letter writers, and is not just focused on stencil or street artists that some films are guilty of..
Anyway check it out for your self..

Its from this French site here if you can read French unlike me..

Flick of Mao roughing an outline at Llanrumney.HOF.

 Too, Mao's left side, a blockbuster steel by foe, to Mao's right, spasm by hoxe..

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..

I've been searching the web for reference flicks etc for some London Underground paintings, Ive recently begun and I'm waiting for some canvases in the post, Anyway I come across this video Steel Injection

So dope to look back at the scene back then in London, I wish I was a part of it in some way, (I might of been if my Granddad didn't move to Cardiff from London)
The closest I and my fellow crew mates got, was to travel to the Big smoke a lot back in the 80s.
It felt like London was the closest you'd get to the south Bronx, esp around Ladbroke grove and Westbourne park.
Its hard to imagine now, with the internet etc, but what happened in London would filter down to city's like Cardiff some months later, I'm not talking about Graff too, It was everything from Fashion, Music, If you wanted the freshest trainers or tunes etc, you had to visit London it was that or nothing, not like today with a touch of a mouse.
But that was so appealing about travelling to London and citys like Bristol which had a fresh vibe its self. 
Its like paint for instance, You couldn't get pink in the 80s no way, apart from mixing caps or mixing white and red at the same time on to your piece you where doing..
Apart from Inkspot that sold buntlac which was a tiny shop in clifton street back in the 80s that was so damn difficult to rack from, the paint was behind the till, perched on top of a ledge only the tall old man that owed the shop at the time could reach. Also the paint was prob more expensive than gold weight for weight, It felt like that when you where earning £5.50 a week doing a morning and afternoon paper round, and the paint you wanted was £7-8, Prob about £25 in today's money.
You had more luck with London, It was a status thing too to have pink or lilac in your piece back in the 80s, esp here in Cardiff.
Yeah London was like a time-zone back then.You followed styles too, If you wanted to be fresh you had to vist London, I remember when me and Hoxe where heavily into doing long stretched wildstyle letters with side blocking or 3D, I remember coming back from London after seeing some pieces by Hate, (He was one of my fav writers, him Kast, Cazbee Foam etc), that where just basic straight letters but looked fresh..From then we where back doing more simple styles that had more funk in a way ( I alway think that simples are the key and foundation to every other style)..Everybody was inspired by what was going on in London, from handstyles to colour-schemes etc.I loved  the ledge as you approached Paddington it gave you a rush of excitement, and a sense of who was up and the health of the scene that week. This must seem so alien to anyone from London that lived it and was used to the city graffiti scene.
Anyway, I must link another site thats pure gold, for what was going on in London back then, Easily one of the best sites out there for u.k/London graffiti history.

 Such a dope site!!

 And this is the very piece by Hate I was talking about, Flick is from photos we me and Mao took during one of our many visits to the bog smoke..
I'll post more photos from this collection soon..

Branding,
Just a couple of drawings, one here is an idea about online company's what's really behind them? etc, Its prob been done already, I'm sure I've seen a dope painting of a person covered in tattoo'd company Brands,This was on the same tip, I thought I'd draw a gangster with social web tattoos instead of gang tattoos in a mug shot type way..I might use it as a painting some time. ( if I ever get around to it that is..lol) I just thought I'd post it up as a drawing for now..

On the B.Boy tip, I did a sketch of B.Boy Slammo and Rmer.@ cvk
Slammo's been on the scene since the 80's and runs a dope foundation/crew etc thats involved in all factors of the B.Boy/B.Girl Dance scene locally and U.K.
I might make this into a painting sometime in the future? but for now I've just done a not so good drawing, lol, making Brad look younger and somewhat stoned? - I think.. lol.. Though in reality brad is not old and don't smoke any weed for the record, ; )..
Anyway Check out what the good man Slammo is about Here at his web site

Nice one..
