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 tooSo 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

Amazing. It looks so cool! Have you considered drawing/painting the big robot for a wallpaper? That'd look pretty awesome.

Well the big robot wasn't my part, it was Visual Dirt's.

awesome - if only all grafitti looked like this, and everyone wanted their walls painted in a new and unique way.
Great job

All graffiti is good (as long as it's not hateful/prejudiced), everything contributes to the scene and I appreciate everything. I guess 'street art' is more palatable to the average person compared to freehand writers and such. Thank you

dont you hate it that most people see a stencil and automatically think you are imitating banksy.

Hahaha, completly right. However my style doesn't use photographic images as the image source (I draw my stuff from scratch), so that does seperate me from appearing like Banksy quite a fair bit...

I like it: originality is rare (says the girl with the hellboy style self portrait as her avatar...)

This is ridiculously fantastic. How many stencils did you end up cutting out for this?
π: 0 β©: 1
ThePpeGFX In reply to MercuryRhapsody [2008-03-18 19:26:11 +0000 UTC]
I'd estimate 40 to 50 different stencils although to be fair, they are relatively simple shapes. Thank you.

Well it's both a compliment and annoyance. It doesn't get under my skin but is a little bothersome. Cheers.
