Description
Before I say anything, I've got to give a big up to Rebel Music in North London for getting in contact and allowing us to paint their wall. Cheers for the freebies too
So aye, me and Snik got our groove on with some robot collaboration. The big fuck off robot is his and my guys are the tiny ones. Typical soldier is 8-9cm tall. So good to be able to take our time with it...
Both of us agreed the weather couldn't have been better. The warmest it has been in months, with a nice breeze to dry that paint quicker. Oh and flowery rubbish to the right of the climbing pile was some old stencil there before, as is someone's clumsy overspray under his right arm.
I'm damn chuffed with how it came out. Dirt handled the majority of spraying my stencils at the base of his guy who are clawing up, big thanks man.
And no thanks to the people that stopped to say "You're doing what that Banksy does, aren't you?" or "Are you Banksy?", although the man that didn't know what a robot was made up for the ignorant people.
Montana Gold (Belton in some places), damn knows how many different stencils, crap knows what size it all is, 5 hour job and fucked up knees.
Uber thanks for suggesting the DD ~AlexLionheart

I wandered by the top part on the wall of a building near where I live and couldn't resist taking a photo and then checking ya out.
Awesome piece of art there, you can tell how much painstaking time has gone into it.

Heheh, it's always cool to hear from people who have seen it in person. Yeah, it took some time but the day and company was great, so I wish it could've only lasted longer : D

Aye, there were over 45 stencils but thankfully they were all pretty simple shapes. That's the joy of my style

This is a short drive from my house, my dad and sister saw it and told me about it, and this morning i drove out to see it in the flesh myself 
Those little robots are totally precious ;D
congrats on the DD too!

Haha, so good to come across someone who has seen it in person, it wasn't made for looking at through photos! I take it that it's still intact and not disfigured with tags yet? This pleases me
Thank you very much.

I didn't see any crappy tags on it, it's safe!

They're planning to add perspex over it and bolt it to wall, so as to protect it but that's probably too costly

Wow! That would be like an art exhibit

Unfortunately not, it was a legal commissioned wall and I don't have the time (or money for that matter) to visit London as often as I want. Nonetheless I'm active in my local street art scene and that does me well.

aw that's a shame 
Ever considered comming along to a london devmeet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I haven't. My (very likely jaded and prejudiced) view of devmeets is a hoarde of teenagers all obsessed with anime, furries and the 4chan spectrum of the internet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Well we do have a few 4channers and anime fanatics...but it's not like an anime-con with loads of sweaty obsessives in costumes XD Most of the devmeets are very ordinary with just people sitting around and chatting about life, art and silly stuff
...but i'm preaching XD I'll stop ^_^

Brought a smile to my face. Such fun.

i love how much detail you put into this, and how the little guys all have different poses. the styles together also work really well. i like this a lot

Thank you, I spent a while designing a fair few different guys so it didn't look too repetitive. I hope it made people passing by to do a double take and have a closer inspection
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your double take plan works even in the photo for me. so whoever in real life doesn't stop to look further is eithe rin a big hurry, or the kind of person i shake my head at in disappointment.

Awesome gallery!

I've been doing street art since 2003 and have really got into it in a big way for the past 2 years, after stumbling across the street art community on dA. It literally and truly consumes my every thought.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. That's pretty much the same with me and traditional art.
And I would post some of my stuff. Except my scanner sucks and I'm too lazy to take pictures of it. XD
But that's freaking awesome that you're totally into it and stuff.
Gahh. I love pen and ink.
