With a well deserved day off work I headed to Moniker street art fare featuring some of the best street artists in the world and some of the biggest art reps/agents/galleries from all over the globe. I'll feature pics from the fare after this, but this is what I came across on the way there - mainly in Shoreditch/Hoxton...

Still in Amsterdam...

A graf smorgasbord (Click on image to enlarge)

While I'm on the Amsterdam tip, I thought I'd chuck up these 2 pieces - 1 sticker batch and 1 graf batch. We spent a day on our bikes ripping around the city and stopping when ever anything took my eye, these are 2 of them.

Oh, and we're almost up to 12,000 unique visitors to the site, so keep watching and send the link to your friends as we head for the big time...

Leef! in Amsterdam

Don't know who or what this is/means (any help from the audience would be appreciated), but it was a large piece on the wall on our way to the park to take the truffels we'd just bought from the smartstore in Amsterdam...

Here's a set from Amsterdam from last year that I really liked. It was near the red light area, so went back to shoot it during the day on our bikes. It was on a boarded up doorway...

We were just about to leave Amsterdam heading for Rotterdam when I spotted this piece down an alley way. On closer inspection I discovered it was a London Police piece with hand-rendered background. There were a few other great pieces down said alley, and I'll feature them too, so stay tuned...

Here's something I meant to chuck up a while ago but never got round to, so for followers of David Walker, here it is. Was lucky enough to be walking by as he was about 3/4 of the way through this piece. I'm a big fan of his work, and watching him in action was marvelous. He just makes it look so fuckn easy. Great skills - much respect David (oh, and he's a hellova nice guy too...)
