Fan Death - Video

I can't fault this. Great styling. Humour.

Love the David Byrne, Billy Corgan (right at the end) too many to mention.

Dead Weather - Bristol Academy

Worshipping at the ground of Jack White.

Tech's wearing suits, hats and royal blue ties. Lighting in shades of deep blue and purple. Alison Mosshart smoking on stage. A well designed evening of pure blues rock.

Laptop decal

I'm looking for a cover options for my laptop (as it's getting trashed), and found this from Vinylville on Etsy.

Cut & Paste Championships - NYC

I don't know why but this reminds me of skateboarding and disco-dancing competitions in the 70's (something that originated as a 'street' activity, being pushed to the max), but with the added twist of the audience being able to give feedback via Twitter, and designers as X-Factor contestants.

GetDringMobile - Paintworks

A great evening organised for the GetDringMobile money raising event, which managed to raise an astonishing £25,000 that night. Some fantastic work, good music and really nice feel to the whole evening. I think it's what some of the other 'graffiti' events should of aimed for. It was also great to see such a high calibre of contributing artists to the event (Nick Walker and Pam Glew getting nice cash amounts in for their work).

Bristol Graffiti blog and Bristol Urban Art have much better photos of the event, so definitely check their links out. I was filming it for a project, so hence my limited and unobserved photos, but here they are anyway.

Lokey working (Jody and Mr Jago, in the background)

Hmmmm gold. Wonderful piece from Xnz, which went for a pretty penny.

Hillgrove Street - Update

Paris' piece on Hillgrove Street was sprayed over this afternoon, and while someone connected with the shop told him off as he didn't have permission to spray there, within 10 mins rescued him from an altercation with the police. A nice bit of Stokes Croft community spirit.

Muck

Been super busy at the mo, and also realised there's a distinct lack of pooch pictures on the blog - so here's a recent one of an over confident Daisy meeting a pond.
