Journey To The Dark Side

Decided to take a trip over to Manchester, long overdue for a visit, and of course had to go and see the piece by Mila K.Excellent capture of Nelson Mandela by Akse P19.Something a little different for C3 I think, really liking this.Wonderfully surreal piece on the shutters of the former Mooch gallery.Good to see that an original Brickz piece is still almost intact.Frogs, I like frogs 🙂Part of the Toaster wall, it was huge but has been gone over in one section.Mr Penfold,cheeky chappy. Ghostpatrol with a stunning wall in the Northern Quarter.D7606, quite near to his home territory I think, mind you he gets about.5ifur, perhaps.Strange graffiti, not that unusual 😉Tirion Lannister by Akse P19. I don’t often feature an artist twice in one blog post, but this is fantastic and it is such a shame that many of his characters have been dogged. Spotted in a carpark.Boeuf!Cool sticker/ pasteup.Don’ Sleep, by Sneak, good to see him back on it.Tankpetrol, beautiful.Another favourite from the Northern Quarter.Tony Wilson, founder of the Hacienda, immortalised by Stewy. Only found this because I got lost, wouldn’t be a day out if I didn’t get lost at least once.

Had a really good day which only the weather could spoil, and it did, my little dog nearly disappeared in a puddle and was seriously not happy. Had to share my Burgerking with her to cheer her up.

Visitors

I discovered this by chance and I was very excited by it. I knew I had seen something similar in Manchester. It’s an artist called Sneak http://www.sneak-art.co.uk/ and he had paid Sheffield a visit.

This was the first one to be destroyed/ removed/ disappeared.

I got some strange looks off early morning motorists getting a shot of this I can tell you, as I stood somewhat unsteadily on a wall at the side of a busy dual carriageway.

 A friend of mine told me where this one was, I was searching in the usual graffiti spots and this was not in one.

AngryFace http://www.facebook.com/AngryFaceGraffitifref=ts had also paid us a visit. Although he had been previously with pasteups and stickers, this time he came equipped with paint!

 I’m very fond of AngryFace, he makes me smile, he’s a wonderful stress reliever.

Who couldn’t love a face like that ?

I think it says a lot about the way the graff/streetart scene in the city is viewed nationally, that artists and writers will travel to Sheffield because they want there work to be seen here.

And finally, even though it’s freezing and the weather is lousy, spring is coming, the clocks go forward at the weekend and Mr Angry Rabbit wishes you all a Happy F*****g Easter!
