Summer holiday

It's great that the weather is so beautiful, no one minds that I've not updated the blog in over a month. You guys are brilliant, just so understanding. And attractive too.

Zoot is back! He's plastered some classic designs on a few legendary spots, like this one on Bradford Street:

Wah and C3 were involved in a open mic and live art event at The Coffee Room on Saturday night, my attention was mainly focused on drinking beer so I don't have finished piece photos...

A new pub is opening on Meriden Street soon and so Mister Boogie Dave has enlisted the help of street artists such as Tempo33, Ouch, N4T4, Philth and Juice to get it looking Digbeth friendly.

The Return of PTP

On Valentine's day, PTP, Lisk, RebelB and Mew spread some pastey love on the street of Digbeth. Here are a few snaps from the night:

I've also made some delicious homemade .gif's (moving images) of the night, check the links out on my facebook.

On Friday 17th, the lovely Lisk showed off his drawing skills at The Edge:

I conducted some drunken interviews with RebelB and C3 on the same night but I haven't had the courage to listen to my own voice and transcribe them yet...

New on the streets this week we have:

 Newso and Gent of the 48s, Green Street

 Madam,  Alcester Street

Case closed

The mystery paster has been found!!

Well... turns out it's two people; VoidOne is responsible for these:

And Nicola Rose is responsible for these:

Thanks to Slobs (art guru) for sharing the knowledge, I can now sleep at night.

On to business; the streets have been decorated by Hijak85 from Rotten this week, saw him out pasting Green Street but didn't go and introduce myself; pasters are skittish creatures.

C3 and the Rebel Gunslingers have been spreading the love for Valentines with glitter in their paste buckets and hearts all round:

P.S PTP's back in town! Prepare for the ducky invasion!

Flames and Ladies!

This week C3 and the Rebel Gunslingers were on a joint pasting mission:

An unknown artist added a pretty birdy to the white boards on Bradford Street:

This is on Wednesday, see you there?

A giant woolly jumper

Ouch was out this week with his cans! More please!

Also out again this week were C3 and Grr-izzly, this time with new ladies and penguins:

I've finally actually gone into town and seen The Bullring's bull with his winter jumper on, knitted by Stitches and Hos who meet once a month at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath. I plan to go to their next meeting and see if they want to be friends.

Detective Floozy

I should probably change my new-blog-post-day to Monday considering I usually work Saturday nights and can't be bothered to do anything except eat fried chicken and fall asleep watching low quality TV on Sundays... Anyway! I'm rubbish, here's some street art:

Excellent new stickers from C3 (you can also search for her on Instagram if you happen to possess an iPhone, search C_3) and Grr-izzly have appeared on Bradford Street this week:

Detective Floozy has a new mystery to solve; two new paste designs have appeared and I have no idea who did them, here's the evidence:

There has been speculation as to the identity of the mystery paster, it is possible they are responsible for this unsolved case from May 2011:

If you have seen the mystery paster, have any information relating to the mystery paster or are the mystery paster; please comment/email/Facebook/Flickr/Tweet me so I can start sleeping at night.

Newso and Agent (of the 48s) were involved in a project over the weekend which saw them outline 'WELCOME TO DIGBETH BAB' on the boards opposite the coach station on Friday, supervise 60 youths from The-Challenge filling in the letters on Saturday and finish the work off on Sunday. I bothered Newso when I saw him painting on Friday and trying to relax in The Rainbow on Saturday night to find out this information.

Saturday (before the kids arrived)

Sunday (finished - photo from Newso's blog)

The winner of PTP's pumpkin carve-off has been voted for this week and it turns out that I've won (I promise I didn't vote for myself). It's been a good year; I've won Sticky Missions, a totem pole by Matthew Dent and a pumpkin carving competition. Here's my winning pumpkin:

Talking of competitions; this week my Facebook page finally reached 66 likes and so to decide who would win the mini Wah lollipop board, I had to cut out strips of paper with all 66 likers names on, then fold them up and put them in my bowler hat and then choose a winner:

Well done Sophie! The board will be posted to you when I get it from Wah and then I demand to see photos of it in your home, being treated right.

Street Spotted is this Saturday! It's going to be awesome; four brilliant artists, the best cafe in Brum and arty goodies for your purchasing pleasure.
