STREET ART SNAPS FROM A FLOOZY IN THE GUTTER: 'When Brum goes calm, it means big things are soon to come'

A very quiet week, the Boards of Fame are crying out for some fresh paste activity; don't they look sad!

As Mr Tempo33 says though 'When Brum goes calm, it means big things are soon to come'.

There has been a little bit of activity from Philth, PTP and I've put a few stickers up (mostly 6TWO4's).

Local mystery! Over the past few weeks, Chinese symbols have been appearing in Digbeth that appear to be painted with a brush not a can. Who is the Chinese tagger??

I've got myself up to 35 Sticky Missions points this week, here are my favourite efforts:

3 - Do a 25 sticker combo

8 - Make a home-made stamp and use it to create 25 stickers

(My stamp was pieces of wool glued to card in a crown shape, made a really nice textured stamp)

9 - multi point task ---- stick 1 of your stickers on:
-- fire department property

16 - Make a piece of clothing with your character on and take a picture of you wearing it out in public

29 - Make a zine

38 - Make a potato stamp with your character or tag and use it on the street

I have plans in motion to have at least another 9 points by next post, the competition has been really good for giving me new ideas of how to rework my character and do slightly daring things and now I really want to win!

If you fancy watching a few of the local vandals doing their thing in a legal setting come down to Subside from about 8ish on Wednesday 10th August. PTP will be relocating down south the weekend after so come say farewell to one of the most active artists in the area, I'll be in the corner with a pint quietly weeping for the loss of Malcom the dog, duckies in various costumes and mushrooms.
