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

Anyway a great job!

Who knows how long it'll last, it only takes an idiot with a can of paint to ruin it but I can't complain, that's part of the beauty of street art.

We could take our time, so stencil seemed the best medium to tackle it. Cheers man.

It was a legal wall in a fantastic area with business like McDonalds, Lloyds TSB, HSBC and Marks and Spencers on the same street. Plenty of motivation since lots of people can see it.

"Yeah.. keep staring.. You think I'm breaking the law... Yeeahh.."

It officially takes 80% longer to walk anywhere.

Yeah, they were a way of occupying what would've been some otherwise very blank space and just balances it more against the behemoth of the robot's presence on the left.

nicely done, you got perfect edges. i tend to have problems with that myself.

Surprisingly enough, we didn't really use spray adhesive. I was initially intending to but it wouldn't adhere to the wall.

This is some really incredible work man! Excellent job, can't believe the patience this would have taken and the end result is just unbelievable. I have nothing else to say, I just can't tell you how impressed I am.

It was relatively quick to cut the stencils, there are some 40 or so different stencils but they're simple shapes and it took around 4-5 hours. Spraying took the same. What was more a pain was bending and kneeling all the time and I can hardly walk today ><
Thanks compadre.
