Inkie/Sepr/3Dom - Croft - Shiv Lizzy

I think the strength of the Stoke Crofts open air gallery, is the constant change, artists trying out new ideas and the fact they can still pull in a name or two. In the last six months a couple of memorial pieces have gone up for Bear (poet, and Croft resident) which were quite wonderful.  So I was really pleased to see such a beautiful memorial piece with respect to Shiv Lizzy (Shivon Watson, 28) who was tragically killed in London earlier this year.

Here's some progress shots from the new Inkie/Sepr/3Dom.

Stokes Croft China & NY Delftware

Ceramics are getting a bit of a face lift with the lovely and wonderful PRSC project Stokes Croft China, and a more graff style from New York Delft by lovegrove&repucci.
Just before Christmas I had a guided tour of the work at Stokes Croft China by Mr PRSC, who used to work in the pottery industry. It was great to see the progression where 6 months ago you could only choose from simple mugs and customise them with deadstock decals, and now their is a selection of pottery which even includes toilet bowls. Some of the highlights were collaboration with some chosen artists who've taken the decals and added their own twist (see below). I especially love the 'Cardinal moustache' pieces.

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.
