You know you are old when anything that sounds like Skrillex actually hurts…

Now you may need to listen to this on silent, I like Dubstep to a point but not when it goes so close to Skrillex.

This video is a myriad of childhood memories, more than likely sprinkled with no little arguing and tantrums.

This music video works for me on a few levels.

1. The video is a clever labour of love
2. Anything which takes you back to your childhood always works except this piece of %¶£* from muller
3. It has hungry Hippos in it… and Guess Who

In an age where pop stars just show loads of flesh and we have no videos of the style and substance of Wacko, Prince or Roxy Music, you got to like this regardless of the track. Props to Delta Heavy and Ian Robertson for putting this out and having the patience, over 3,000 photos later and there you go.

Spotted on PSFK

 

Old school cycling and hodgehegs… Chance it

Chance Street, East London, possibly one of the best streets in LDN to find street art, there is another iconic piece from Roa, there is tagging galore and there are loads of other bits and pieces you can spot, even my old mates id-iom have sprayed the wall before.

Unmistakably Roa

This stencil piece is cool, old school motorbike with side car, it won’t last that long so head down for a wee gander.

Biking Chance

According to Shop Talk it is Crycle Collective, I can not find any more info… anyone shed any light?

Side car action

Things I’ve seen….

Mile End, by the skate park where the youts dem ride their boards. It was peeing with rain so could only get a couple of shots.

Queen Worser

If Danny Dyer was a graf artist he would be called Melt… or Dry Melt, this was a moist melt…

Dry Melts

Not everyone loves London 2012 clearly

It could potentially be brilliant, but equally it could easily be a disaster of gargantuan proportions, most Londoners are generally positive about it but not everyone.

Artistic protest

In the Eastend it is probably because the Olympic juggernaut has ploughed through wherever it pleases and not always considered local residents and businesses.

Monkey protest

One thing that Seb Coe and his cronies can rely on is that the Euros in Poland and The Ukraine will be worse without a doubt

Things I’ve seen…

More random pieces from my mooching around London. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions on who they are by. As they say every day is a school day

Helmet hoodlum

Not quite Facejacker

Monkey bidness

Time is everything…

Always the right time

I like watches but I am usually late. What gives? I probably see them as more of a bracelet than a functional piece of clothing, the fact I have 31 might be testiment to that.

If I could access this everyday though I would certainly at least be aware of the time I am sure. Bet you it is the right time too ya’l

Click through on Build time promise it is worth it…

Bed Stik… Another one for the collection

Shhhhhhleep

Stik can be seen all over the East end, another one to add to the collection. Sleepy Stik is a cute Stik. Again the shape of the body and minimal face still manages to convey some form of emotion. My stick drawings are not even suitable for Hartbeat, I’ll stick to scribbles and doodles

And another

And another

One more

Final one

Insane Felans Cartel

First of all this is the best name for a graf team, I can not find much about them so will keep looking. Or can anyone else help?

A little bit of insanity does you good

Loving this because of the wide use of colours, bit like a rainbow on acid, which is hardly surprising given the name.

This 2011 piece is nicely hidden away off Bethnal Green Road, but on the same street as some pretty average pieces, which only makes this even better. As always art pickers, find it for yourself, do a little mooching.

 

Things I’ve seen…

London has been a bit of a temperamental bitch this weekend, one minute raining cats and dogs, the next nervous sunshine, then mardy winds. One minute I was wishing for an umbrella and the next needing sunglasses. So this morning SF went out for a bike ride swearing sunglasses, a hat, waterproofs and a vest underneath. Crazy times.

Random weather gave these pictures lots of different looks.

The Wick of Hackney - Retro too

Everything in the East end has to be a bit retro doesn’t it?

Yellow alien heads

Like the Simpsons, if they were possessed

Bloody Krays

 

More Sweets than you can stomach

 

Anyone reckon this might be Sweet Toof's studio?

Mr Toof gets around London but he makes sure he keeps it interesting, it is not just simple walls or shop shutters. This guy doesn’t mind going up high to put his mark on the LDN skyline, he doesn’t mind getting in a boat too and he likes to go out and about finding some rather obscure parts of the city.

Big Toof... tiny mouth

I think Sweet Toof is thinking to the future, the Olympics are a few months away and his will be the most visible art in London, it also sticks in the mind the big pink lips and huge gnashers meaning that people will be able to chart it across their journey to Stratford.

Even the tag is intricate

Expect to see another guerilla stunt like he did with the Metro last year…
