Whoever wanted to be Dscreet?

Bird Cream – Dscreet

Dscreet, long term collaborator of Sweet Toof and an artist who pops up quite often around London, the impossible to miss owls keep watch over many corners of the earth, from Brooklyn to Melbourne.

This piece is cool as it takes a little bit of of Sweet Toof and then Dscreet takes over, It is called Bird Cream and was  a 2009 piece. Nice that it is still in good nick.

Find it for yourself in Bethnal Green near the rail lines

The Epic Adventures of Sweet Toof…. pt98

This is pretty much a weekly section on StandardFact, although I would like to say this is not dedicated to one artist and we will be making sure that other artists get a look in…. providing they up the ante

Big mouth

Sweet mouth

Any trips along the canal, on the Olympic route and around the industrial estates, Sweet Toof is seen….

Peg toof

He even made a cameo appearance on the Apprentice this week

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.

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

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

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

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

Soooo Kanye…. Directorial debut

So Kanye....

This blog is abount, art, street art, music, fashion, marketing, lifestyle and checking out what Kanye West is doing.

So I do not know too much yet but already it sounds brilliant, here it is. He is going to debut a film at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, it is in the genre of Thriller and only lasts 30 minutes. Other information available is that it will feature other wordsmith friends.

But the best bit is that he has not even started it. In typical Kanye fashion, he will not start until the final moment and then have ultimate confidence that it will stand up to anything that Scorsese or the Coen Brothers can throw together over a year or two of production.

Nothing this man can not do, MC, sing, model, act, fashion designer, award ceremony invader and now director.

Soooooo Kanye.

Long wall of paint...

Few of my favourite shots from today, mooching down the canals of London in the East. One entire wall of graf which was about 18ft tall, here are a few pieces….
