Any toe rag spay paints my garage wall, I don't care how good he is or how cool people think he is, he will get a baseball bat across his knuckles then we can see just how well is spray finger works. >:(

I reckon he's an amazing artist, though some of his more recent stuff does suggest he is running out of idea's!! & i think you are slightly missing the point Matt, this sorta art isn't about how pretty/realistic it looks...! Like you say, anyone can graffiti stuff...but this is different!

OK, but at heart, it is still graffiti.

there was a local council peition in bristol recently to allow bristolians to sign to protect a new peice of work that had emerged on the side of a health clinic as yes technically its illegal but the council decided it would be daft to remove it. Brilliant artist i say.
