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.

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.

Brazil woz 'ere

Last week in Digbeth the Espirito Brum Brazilian festival happened! Music, workshops and art interventions took place over the 14th-18th and at some point around then Brazilian artist Renato Pontello did some painting with Tempo33, Newso, Ouch and Lisk.

This photo of the work on PST is taken from Renato Pontello's blog (I'll warn you now, it's in Spanish) because every time I went to get photos, there was a van or similar vehicle parked in front of the building.

Also on the Espirito Brum blog is a page on Birmingham street art:

"Beyond graffiti, art on the street is also represented in the form of paste ups, knitted installations and works of public art"

Knitted installations you say? That's me!

This week my new blog title became a little more finished with the completion of 'gutter' by Khoi:

I'm still waiting for 'snaps' from Wah and 'art' from Lisk... Come on guys! Everyone wants me to have a pretty new blog title!

This week (on the 27th, to be precise) this blog was mentioned on Digbeth is Good AND Created in Birmingham! The fame went straight to my head and I made a Facebook page for myself the blog. There's a box to your right where you can 'like' it if you want updates about Birmingham street arty things more often than once a week. I might even get round to giving away some stickers or bigger pieces by artists featured on here.
