Loving this punker on the side of Shok-1′s latest vehicle makeover. The vehicle itself is an old bus converted into a mobile tattooing parlour and if you get a chance to see it in person check out the amazing level of detail. Read the original post at Art of the State
Been a while since the last post. Partly because I’ve been taking a bit of time out and partly because there’s been nothing going on. Well, except for Eine painting an entire new alphabet in just one street! Lower case all the way, it turns a road off the city into an amazing cartoon like [...]

This week saw the launch of the latest section of the London Overground to go live. Running from Dalston Junction down through to New Cross it runs straight through areas like Hoxton and Shoreditch at roof top level. Which is pretty damn handy if you want to see work by climbing graffiti legends Burning Candy and in [...]
It’s a work in progress but this ‘Urban Assault Vehicle’ can currently be seen turning heads on the streets of London. Shok-1‘s given one of the city’s most infamous and battered vans a completely new paint job in his own organic graffiti style. There’s a wealth of letter forms and fine canvas art like detail – [...]
