The piece above was painted in Madrid to help promote the new game BLUR to a European audience. There is a time-lapse film that accompanies the launch campaign, a funny promotional advertisement that pokes fun at Mario Kart and a facebook page too. There is also a 360 panorama i made below… Read more »
Freestyle interior for the huge (reopened) Debut club, underneath the arches of London Bridge railway station in London. There’s also a time-lapse of the production below.
Here’s the final shot of the piece in Sodtheditch (sic). I’m told by the good people at Mutate Britain that it is alive and well and kissing the clouds from the rooftops. Notice the cans on the floor, working on the floor was my favourite moment, together with the mathematical ‘overlay’ effect, not sure what to call these yet. Their proper name is anamorphic projections, but much like my improvised largescale anaglyphic stereoscopy, it has to find a less hyphenated description. 3D as a name seems so varied, almost covers most of my perspective trickeries.
I’ll keep you posted.
This final photograph above is a composite of 9 full format frames, expertly photographed by the wonderful Mauritz.
You can also view my 360 photograph, posted on 360cities, also discoverable in Google Earth, together with my ‘Born in Walsall’ mural (you have to see it, either in your browser, or as a placemark in Google Earth itself, if you have it installed)
During the Birmingham squad’s visit to Berlin for Secret Wars, we found a little time on the last day to go paint just on the outskirts of the Kreuzberg district.
When I began working on this painting I knew it was going to be something new, a new technique must apply.
For ages I’ve been seeing the work of some pavement artists rendered in chalk (attached as a Word document or on one of those ‘10 amazing…’ sites). All the works have to be made stretched to accommodate the point of view, or plane distortion.
Making the floor seem to become another surface or even vanish completely. Read more »
Last year I had the good fortune of being invited to take part in the inaugural graffiti exhibition to occur on the infamous white isle.
I painted a large piece at the venue with Inkie and this video surfaced only this week (see below), with interviews from myself, Inkie and special guest Shoe from the Netherlands who happened to be visiting the island.
Watch this space for Urban in Ibiza 2010!
Fisheye lenses have always interested me, as do any optical device to be honest with you. From door peepholes, to magnifying glasses. Microscopes to telescopes…
Next weekend I’ll be visiting Berlin for the first time with the Birmingham squad in the Euroleague season of Secret Wars. Currently we’re top of group 2
Sunday 28th February 2010 - Away game for the Birmingham 6.

If you can’t make the trip to Birmingham to view the new 3D cube in person,I’ve made a video of the painting below.
I was asked to design a screenprint, alongside the 3D cube, for the Tiger beer Lucky 8 campaign. The brief was farely open, although the prints were to be an edition of 88 offered as gifts during the campaign.
