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

Damn I love your art! But isn't it annoying to draw the same object (like the little "attackers" here) over and over and over and over?

Well up close and personal, there are a variety of figures. There are probably between 17-20 different posed robot soldiers, so it's something that is only done justice sen in person.
And besides, I'm not drawing each one, they're stencils

This is, in my humble opinion, your best work yet for sure. My jaw slowly dropped as the image loaded. I figured all the little guys were stickers, but noooo you had to be a badass and do it the hard way.
Proper good job man.

Stickers? Pah, they'd be gone within days, with people taking them off, thinking it was some marketing campaign with free stickers involved.
Thanks man, I still value your opinion highly, so ja, thanks muchly

Hey, if someone can pay 200,00 quids for Banksy, I'm sure 10,000 would be reasonable XD

The title 'Dopeness means robots' (which is also written beside the piece) was a quote from the store owner

Thanks man, yeah, this would've been more difficult to do with Graff still updating, or atleast, Graff wouldn't have been updating nowhere near on time.

It's a double-edged sword, it's a compliment in a way but it's damned annoying for people to always come out with that stuff.

Not too long, I'd guestimate at around 4-5 hours for maybe 40 or so different stencils.
