Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman. Then always be Batman.

Bit of a delay between posts,mostly because of this wonderful piece by Bob x Skint x Suek, which was an absolute pig to photograph, very good though, and really rather clever.  🙂  Dmak, reclaiming what is seeming to be one of his regular spots.Managed to catch the man himself, Rocket01, just putting the finishing touches to this beauty, stunning.Brayk, we can fix you…we can make you fit in. I read this wrong initially as ‘we can fix Ada’, but we can probably fix her as well..Cheeky little chap by Rateone, love this…..and I didn’t fall off the makeshift ladder I had to climb to get it… result!Fox2b, a visitor to Sheffield perhaps, I don’t know, loving this style though. Something a little different from Trik9, the Oak Elephant.  Marcus Method x Eugene Booms. Ventured into a spot where I wouldn’t normally go on my own to capture this awesomeness, needn’t have worried, place was full of photographers!Ghost Patrol paid a little visit to Sheffield, nice to see. D7606 x Martian Code, an international collaboration which I really like. Little rays of sunshine. Becoming a real fan of Ogosh, not such a bad apple at all 🙂Kode x Bern, Suicide Bear fantastic, if slightly disturbing..Looks like Coloquix lady is turning to the bottle,not surprising really…

I had wondered if there would be any implications following the demolition of the so-called ‘crack den’ as the regulars there would need a new place to go. On entering this site to visit the tipsy lady above, I bumped into a group of four men, who were just leaving, all looking rather spaced, one clutching a carrier bag and another one of them dressed ….. as Batman…..

Summer is Coming!!

Haste, got the bird, think she’s a bit horny! Mace x Surge, Mortal Kombat, Finish Him!! Epic as always.  Jd Arts (Kame), I do love these, brilliant work. Brayk, diverse as always, and quite busy as of late.Dese, been busy at this place, this one’s my favourite though.Rateone, wouldn’t like to spend time in his head!  😉Cres….. This is probably the first time that Cres has featured on this blog , I’m not a great fan of most of his work but this is impressive. What a spot!Ogosh x Alas x Skint x Syke, hopefully not the last collaboration on this wall. Casper maybe?, but particularly liking the BilsMist1 , old school legend and a bit of a comedian! 🙂Burn x Kode, brightening car parks in the city, but unfortunately often a pain to photograph because people keep parking cars in front of them…Prone. Saw the man himself in the middle of painting this, he said I’d like it, he was wrong, I think it’s fantastic 😀  Bint and Tekonta Secta walked into a bar……… I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere, but anyway, great to see them in one of our more salubrious hostelries.

I’d been thinking things were a bit quiet in Sheffield, but if you have a good look around, it’s as busy as ever, thankfully, don’t want my garden too tidy do I?

Kosh, Skint and Sico, going large.Saul, a visitor from Leeds I think.Have a break, have a quick cat,glad I’m a dog person myself, Mr Eug.Mila K, outstanding as always.Who says clowns are scary, he’s a regular bundle of joy, by Kent.Like this, can’t read it mind.Space travel is in Dysons blood.Rambo,a vision in black and chrome.CoLor, I’m sure there’s a witty title for this but I’m blowed if I can think of it.Mars, loving these letters pieces.Bern x Kode x Zero, I do wish they got out more 😉Brayk wants his mummy.Suek a master of his craft.Sour in a purple patch.Miso maybe?Monkeys, because we all love monkeys 🙂

 

Anti Social Behaviour Is A Trait Of Intelligence…..

Prones’ first burner of the year, with a very appropriate quote from Nikola Tesla,not sure that he was referring to graffiti though.TCM – Rack One, Lone Kode Trik and Bern, awesome!A touching piece by Robo, a lovely tribute.Suek, I love this, hurts my head, but love it anyway. Temal, anybody know if there is a significance to the me me me?Cantastic Art, like this much.Fox by ABC, new to Sheffield I think, good to see new artists getting out and about.Foundry, Pawski and Ample Aerosolisz, simply amazing.Mr Kent, seems to know more about my childhood than I would like…Sour, sneaky piece.Eug x CoLor Art, not a new one, just took me a while to get around to seeing it.And this weeks award for painting in awkward places to photograph goes to Bine and Xastexo, fabulous staircase, pictures don’t do it justice. Oh and this is is Jim, apparently.

Sharrow Graff Jam 2013

Skema and Apps travelled up early from Walsall to take part in this years Jam, producing a stunning Star Wars themed collaboration. Perhaps it was part of a cunning plan to make sure they got finished sooner and didn’t fry like the rest of us, because it was certainly a scorcher.

Meth looking very dapper as he worked on a piece in his trademark style.

Mis Red, not been out and about as much as I’d like to see, produced a lush cats and mouse piece, hope there will be more soon.

Trik9, excellent as always.

Xhastexo and Bine, a winning combination, fuelled by Budweiser!

Bob, Public Offender and I’m not sure who, painted some of the smaller panels on the outside of the ball court.

I like this and wish my reading of letters was better, so I could tell you who it was.

 

Mr Ryak, always nice to see.

 

MTH Crew, great to see them in Sheffield, a really talented bunch.

 

Kosy, cannot tell you how happy I was that he came and did a piece at the jam and that I met him and he was great!

Si2, Hull Graffiti, I can watch this guy paint all day he’s like a magician, even if you’re watching his every move, you still don’t know how he does it.

 

Five Five in action.

 

Such, organiser of the graff jam, love the colours in this.

 

Lone and Bern key artists at the jam……as is Kode it wouldn’t be the same without them.

Last but by no means least Pawski, Shoe and Mace, a force to be reckoned with. A fantastic piece, again, can’t wait to see what they pull out of the bag for Tamworth.

So yes all in all a good day out, met lots of people, got burnt to a crisp, saw some wonderful graffiti/art, got a Booms piece of my own and had some fabulous indian food, does it get any better than that? Probably not…

P.S. Apologies to any artist not featured here, there was just too much!
