Graffiti in New Zealand

I was lucky enough to recently spend 5 weeks in New Zealand. I absolutely loved it from start to finish and would love to go back at some point to see more of the North Island which we only managed to touch on briefly. These pictures show some examples I found of graffiti which I found to be in some ways similar to that found in New York (particularly Wellington) and in other places much more realistic mural type work.

The St. Leger Brothers

I went to this exhibition in Bristol yesterday, two very talented brothers who have slightly different approaches to their work. The website for the Knifesmith Gallery is also well worth a look for work of various artists which is available to buy.

I went to a photography exhibition in Bristol a couple of weeks back and was really impressed by it. The exhibition was held at Centrespace and was called Playdays the person that most caught my eye was a photographer called Sam Davey. Really lovely photos, one of which I include here and also a link to his recently updated website which is well worth a look.

St Pauls Carnival

I went to St Pauls Carnival the other week for the first time, I thought it was fantastic especially all the amazing costumes. I took some pretty good photos and these two are my favourites.

Dear Mr Newman

I found this gem on the street quite near my house, no idea who Mr Newman is though...

Old Flags (found in a 1940's atlas)

Gold Drawings

I am working again full time which is pretty tiring but I am still trying to get some drawing done when I can, here are a few examples of recent sketches.
