Just been snapping these new street art for the last few weeks around East London.
The artist just got a great recognition, by the police!

Flash trash..1
What was this guy thinking?!? Did he want to accessories his sandals with neon string or was he in a rush and placed his, girl/friend/house mate/wife, flip-flops on.

'Foreign Affair'
My very talented friend, André Bacelar, has written, directed and is acting in his own play, 'Foreign Affair'. I was over the moon to be ask to help as costume director so off I popped down to rehearsals to sort out the costumes...couple of weeks later and last minuet changes (the night before the play opened!) I was busy coordinating the outfits and checking nothing looked out of place. Perfect if I might say my self.
See some group pictures for a sneak preview.

Election Night Art!
Some art I saw on Election Night…some good, some ok and some that I managed to rip of the wall and take home!
Marc Quinn new show at the White Qube
Its Thursday night and where else do you go to...East London! The bustle of the 'in' work night to grab a beer never seemed more popular then hanging out side an art gallery. The show was packed with young Eastenders and the artist community.
Marc Quinn new show titled: Allanah, Buck, Catman, Chelsea, Michael, Pamela and Thomas
'The exhibition brings together new sculptures executed in marble, bronze and silver, depicting people who have undergone extreme levels of plastic surgery and transformation including hormone therapy, tattoos, piercing, skin bleaching, hair dying as well as implants and transplant .' (http://www.marcquinn.com/)
Knowing about Buck, a porn star who features regularly on the club gay scene, who is still a female but had hormone pills to able him self to build up muscle mass. It was great to see him within the show with fellow porn star Allanah
Who is still a guy (with the genitals) who has had the opposite sexual change. At the opening Claudia Schiffer was looking fabulously pregnant.
Although my last picture looked like this guy wanted to whack me at the same time of doing the pose of Pamela in the background!

Stuart Semple private view HAPPY HOUSE
Our generation British pop artist launched his new show on Wednesday 5th May, and I was lucky enough to go along to this and the collectors preview the week before.
Currently my favourite artist, with 11 new pieces of work on a more personal and political slant. The canvases still shouted pop with the familiar typography, intertwined song lyrics and the dazzling glitter! You have to see the work in person to understand the large scale and impact, with studding the brush stroke closely where you might have thought it was a printed image.
Speaking to Stuart on the painting, Pictures Came And Broke Your Heart, and why he used Cyril Sneer from the 1980 cartoon The Raccoons (one of my favourite shows). Was to sum up a occurring message he places to the art world, expense, opulence and money grabbing crudeness of it all! This picture also depicts two females kissing due to Stuarts surprise of history of art not reflecting this type of imagery.
