Massive ups to KURS, BEWARE and SIN for doing all the hard graft buff work, CAST for his timely contribution, DJ Balanced for the beats, Steven, the wall owner and to all the writers who did their time with everyone standing around watching.
No pressure ;-)

Either taking the piss or a bite...

So who's this? Cos as sure as I was that ERECT had turned into ERASE, I'm just as sure ERASE is not ER...

Which way to the sandpit?...

I have no idea what this says but...
...same colours as SEND so guessing there was either a colab or they went halvies on the cans ;-)




Yeah - I know - I could single handedly supply all of Wellingtons creche's with the toys I put up here so why do I do it?
a) because I put up what goes up
b) cos I had a collection of SENDs
c) cos all the toys have to start somewhere

Erase might hate me for this...
Five months ago:

Yesterday:
Say no more...

I say Go Psycho SEND!

ERASE just for a change ;-)

Erase and matey potatees have been tagging BDC on their role calls - I'd heard that it could possibly mean Bomb Da City but when I talked to Erase yesterday he said it was Bombers Delight Crew.

A few of us were squirming at the potential repercussions of some of Erases crosses and tags over the big boys pieces lately but turns out that it's not him doing it. Even he's surprised at how much the tags look like his style.

Dirtay!

We were all having a whinge about how messy the alleys got - dirty tricks, no respect, posca penis extensions, an overindulgence of hating, no one wanting to waste their time or paint putting pieces up, the cops making it their regular exercise circuit etc. I suggested we should all get together and do the big buff to clean slate it and they were in.

Who else would be in if I could get some sponsored buff paint and make the necessary arrangements with the locals? Maybe we could lure some Burners from either local or Aux or ChCh or wherevs?

If we could get 5+ Hell Yeahs (leave a comment or e me at leftbanklive@gmail.com), I'll start making some phonecalls ;-)

I know it's not going to sort out any of the above problems but you know what it's like when you have a bit of a clean up - does wonders for the tude...

SIN | ERASE| HAPPY | ID

Haven't seen the Master of Sinister up for a while. I saw his black book sketch of this one and was amazed how close it was. Would be cool if he could get some of his other pieces up from the BB...




Erase, Happy and ID are relentless!

Doors open, come on in...

Good to see REVAMP up and about with these throwies and a few sticks...






I heard the other day that ERASE isn't in CFG anymore. It was his choice but the crews still tender about it.

Him and Happy aren't in the hoods good books at the mo either. They've been getting up full on - that's not so bad - it's just that even though they've been told, they haven't quite got the concept of 'don't shit in your own nest!'
In other words, they may as well be painting an image of a front door and tagging ERASE and HAPPY hang out here on it.Apparently they've been relieved of a stash of their cans but the damage is done and I suspect it's only a matter of (not very much) time before they get some visitors who are hot for them in all the wrong ways.

Call me any kind of genius but I'm guessing we'll be seeing some new names going up pritttttty soon...

Keeping An Eye On the Prize...

Erase's old man told me he was taking him and Happy to some graf comp out of town so when I caught up with them down Lefties yesterday, I wasn't surprised to find out they won.
Erase has always had the Can Gods in his back pocket. He inherited a shitload of them when Mephisto Jones split over to Oz and now him and Happy are flush with booty from the comp...



SIN rocked down as I was taking these images and watching the boys finishing off. He looked at the one above and said to Happy - At least it's got eyeballs!
Later on, when I had split from SIN, I saw this fresh one and chuckled to myself...
Man - I'm so stoked I got these images when I did cos CFG went on a mental block buster rampage and capped them all.
You can see them here tomorrow...

Erasing Silenc | Silencing Erase

I've been waiting for an excuse to put up Silenc's last rap text and tenuous as it is, Erase has given me one. Here he's capped Silenc huge piece over in the carpark near the new Boombox. Also - Silenc tells me he'll probably be down in the New Year to get some shit up...

All the bestist!
Jah rythym of rain hit d roof
ova realheads i bn blessed with,
cash distracts from higher values
n incentives to progres d next ish,
do yo thing as strong young Kings n Queens!
who aint on that chicken neck shit,
seek proof n speak the truth
like soulrebels Krs n mc M1,
go to war with these devils n dnt cm bak till afta death -
mum aint gna miss this,
plus i aint gne wait til christmas
to rip shit apart like presents
im out for the poor n opressed workin people peasants
and easily influenced adolesants
who are stressed with' modernday life'
Soul Power!
Lets take it back to the essence!

Pidgeshit

Apparently FKBs CERS isn't thrilled about Erase's ERS (try saying that after you've been up to take part in the joy and happiness of DRIPs birthday imbibeathon!!)





I know!! Scraping the Tragic Barrel when I have to feature the (fornicating 30 seconds ago) pidgeons.

The Family That Paints Together Stays Together ;-)

DRIP is ERASE's old man - I was so stoked to see this! It's not about a father and son doing supposed criminal activity together - it's about a father doing the 13 year old son's favourite thing in the world with him - whatever that is -without judgement...

Luckily DRIP and DRYPNZ are friends so there will be no biting hate bullshit here either ;-)

The Idealist in me is seeing Grafland inching closer to that dream I had that time...

What was I thinking?! LOL!

Then there's the question whether FTP is a crew or just the statement Fck The Police? Someone thought they'd heard it was a world wide thing?
I can see that connection ;-)
What about Editor & Cast? Editor often has WK on his pieces but role calls some RTR...
And what about F is for Fun? I heard he was in FKB but got sidelined because he wasn't repping them enough. True/False?

As you'll see by the comments - getting some good info.
Want to be sure it's shizworthy though so confirms of the ? would be g

MORE SLAPPERS

I never know if this is Gee2, Gees or GEEZ. Sin and I were yarning when we saw some gansta looking dude tagging his way up the alley. We found out it was this guy and when I tried to find out what his writing name was, he told me but I still couldn't work it out.


Erase has been doing more stickers than throwies lately. Is it just me or is his stuff totally watchable?!

Progress Down The Alley...

So I found out that Erase WAS Erect as I suspected. Someone hit him up for biting them. It was such a vague connection that I put it down to Top Toy pecking order slobber where the Bitee probably felt threatened.
I mean - look up there, then look down here...these were done by the same guy exactly two months apart. That's got to be called stellar progress in anybody's toybox.



My favourite story this week was about Shiv from CFG doing fill for Erase on one of the pieces at the top. Apparently DR (also CFG) wasn't ecstatic about it and told Shiv none too eloquently, but Shiv kept doing it anyway.
Now that's what I'm talking about...
I already liked Shiv but he got a big fat 10 pointer in my blackbook for that deed. Tells me two things - he's not too big for his Vans AND he knows talent when he sees it and isn't too staunch and haterful to support it...

ERASE

I'd bet my Nokia that Erase used to write as Erect. While I'm at it, I'll make it double or nothing and bet my Ferrari (laptop that is!) that he also did the E I use as my profile pic ;-)

Ceap/Erase

This is the third Ceaper I was telling you about (making a hefty 4 in total up the alley). I was more used to seeing Ceap's characters so was quietly stoked to see these go up.

Who is Erase? Help me out here...
