Few bits from June

If you look to your right you'll notice this: 'The best bits of Birmingham street art (and my own guerilla knitting ventures) updated when I'm not feeling lazy.' so no bitchin'.

Graffiti4hire have been busy around the Custard Factory, here's my favourite bit of busy-ness:

Gibb Street

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.

You turn your back for one week...

I was away from my beloved Digbeth to see some family last week so I've had to quickly catch up on the many goings on and pretty things that have turned up on the streets.

Perhaps most excitingly is the brilliant Mr Penfold paying the area a visit. It seems he was looked after by Tempo33, here's what they got up to:

Fazeley Street

Warner Street

The 48Sheet project has come to Birmingham; 29 artists have created designs using the 48 sheet layout of a billboard  and now they're on display in prominent spots all over the city. Technically it's art on the street and some of the artists involved are better known to me for their illegal exploits so here are a few photos:

Lucy McLauchlan

A piece made using objects found around the site of the billboard on Pershore Street

Tom Tebby

Glenn Anderson

Constantly being changed and added to by the artist (hence the scaffolding) on Fazeley Street

PTP came back to visit again! Here are some photos from the mandatory pasting session with two of the Rebel guys on Tuesday 3rd April:

March is a rubbish month anyway.

I don't really like March and the March that's just finished was very busy, here are some photos from it:

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!
