Here they are! Fresh from the printing studios of Vinosangre in Cornwall comes the first in my new line of Tshirt designs. Hand-pulled white print on black ringspun shirts, these lovely soft breathable cotton garms have been limited to a run of 20. Available in sizes small (34-36″”), medium (38-40″”) and large (42-44″”) at the completely reasonable price of £15.00. Go here to order now!
So, things have been busy since I last posted. Between organising for an upcoming exhibition, dealing with half-arsed couriers and helping drop a stag do for my mate Delf, things have been hectic. Working through any sort of real idea has been impossible, but I have been building on the experimental work I did with the new(ish) Hardcore2 paint from the Yard.
The first two got painted down at the wall out the back of the shop – and were joined with some sick pieces by Loki and Ments.
The theme kept building – a few canvases later in the studio…
…and I decided to take the idea out onto the streets. Not being in a position where getting nicked is the best idea, I put into action one of those ideas that gets chucked around a lot but never really used, and went and wrapped the town up.
I had great fun putting this up on the electrical box right next to the NUA library. Watching the faces of all the little art bunnies as they hopped past and caught a whiff of real paint made me chuckle…
A few more went up that day as well – this one at the top end of Duke St, one on Gentleman’s walk, and one next to a main roundabout on the ring road.
Apparently, this image made quite the rounds, even ending up on the front page of Reddit. I had a great time reading all the comments on there…
Anyway, stay tuned for an update later this week on the Norwich vs Birmingham Secret Walls event held at Norwich Castle, and the release of my new Tshirts.
I’m really pleased to announce the release of these new, ultra-limited-edition prints. Ten of these have been made, using a 3 layer stencil process over patterned wallpaper. 20 by 16 inches, made with satin fish, high quality European aerosol paints, these are guaranteed limited edition.
All prints and numbered and signed, and available for £25 unframed and £35 framed (plus delivery).

Rakos and I went to Pottergate for a paint last night, only to find that the rise in temperature to slightly above “fucking icicle” had left the walls absolutely saturated with condensation.
Rather than abandon the chance to paint, we headed for the studio, and proceeded to make an excellent mess on the walls. To be honest, I was glad of the chance to try out the MTN Hardcore2 paint I’d just got somewhere out of the public eye, as I’d not used it at all before….
I enjoyed using the paint – a little higher pressure than I’m strictlt used to for detail work, but it covers very nicely. It’s strange how the spray geometry of certain caps is altered completely by pressure and consistency – I found that an mtn94 skinny acted like I’m used to a pink-dot behaving, but a blue Ironlak Cyclone cap was actually far gentler and softer than on a Belton, which has a lower pressure.
Anyway, after I’d painted the wall, I decided to paint one of the mannequin bodies Rakos and I had hauled out of one of the local skips. I had a ball squinting at this to line it all up – overall I think it worked quite well.
We got a female mannquin torso as well – next time, perhaps I’ll challenge myself to see if I can do the same with a pair of big plastic tits in the way…
The new TLACrew Channel is up on Youtube.
Featuring videos of us at play and at work over the past couple of years, the new channel will be updated regularly with new playlists, videos from the street, and shots of the studio in action.
The new studio is now broken in! A fresh space for a collection of skills and styles to merge and give rise to some general badassery is now ready for use. Located at Space Studios in the center of Norwich, we have a well ventilated room with space for us to throw paint around in new exciting ways. Shared between myself, Rytch, Zyon, and Ments, this studio is going to be pushing out some serious work including paintings, prints and sculptures over the next few months. Keep an eye on it, cause we are.
One of my last pieces of 2012, I did this for a 4 year old lad’s bedroom and thouroughly enjoyed painting it!
If you would like something similar, day prices start at £300. Just drop me an email to talk about your design!
