Toasted

The biggest and best addition to the streets this week came from Insa who visited Brum and painted a massive mural at the Custard Factory:
Yayyyy!

Another mystery paster has appeared, but they've found me! The Hores created this pastey goodness:

Lisk was in the Birmingham Mail this week (31st Jan). Don't worry, he's not been arrested; a photo of his paste on Floodgate Street was the 'Reader's Picture':

On Wednesday, I stood in the cold in Wolverhampton for 2 hours to get my hands on 1 of 20 Toaster popcorn boxes and then watch their film 'Everywhere', there was some tweeting (@gutter_floozy) during this:



The film itself was about half an hour of elegantly and artistically (but not pretentiously) showing the Toaster's different ways of getting up, literally everywhere. The film shows their journey from the beginning in Wolverhampton with hand-drawn stickers, to the banners at football matches, to painting a giant toaster on the road during the Tour de France and how they've constantly reinvented the Toaster image to keep it in people's heads. With fond and humorous interviews from the likes of D*face and Space3; the Toaster love was pretty evident on screen and in the room. The screening also meant an opportunity for some Brummy street artists to get drunk together; Lisk, Mew, Tempo33, C3, the Rebel Gunslingers and Vomit were all spotted being a bit rowdy (apologies to the pub and the train that got covered in stickers).
