In The Fabric...

SIN told me yonks ago, when he first did the above pasties that they were photocopies of toys so, when I was around at his place the other day, helping him sort some shit out - actually, watching him sort some shit out - I spotted them for real. I felt like some groupie getting all high pitched over some muso's guitar or something - I had to get a picture and, yes, if they could've, I would have got their autographs ;-)

Round the Block...

We're so used to Dusk's pasteys being of voluptuous, cheeky looking femmes so this one is a bit of a change. But knowing Dusk - there's a good chance this is a statement about something she's been noticing or thinking about lately...

These two pasteys are by Eeks. Some tips on Eeks you could go to the TAB and cash in on is that his pieces never run in straight lines, the proportions are often distorted, his characters are multi coloured freak shows and he's unpredictable - the very line up that makes his stuff outstanding...

Dusk Maiden

One Divine Dusk over another. Is there any such thing as too many Dusks?

My eyes hurt sooooo bad.
I was convinced they were going to fall out, on my lap, throbbing and writhing. And I just knew it would have been while throwing back sake at Catch Sushi, making it understandable that the Sushiettes might mistake my bloodveined, tearstained eyeballs for something that could go on the conveyor belt - black plate for effect, uncooked, with or without wasabi - which would've been dead cert to start a frenzy once the other punters discovered there were only two to go round.
I knew you'd be horrified at the drama, not to mention the images (that someone else would've had to take cos I wouldn't have been able to see), so me and my wary eyeballs took a rest.

I'm not sure how much longer I can do this. I work 8 - 10 hours at my computer at work then another 3-5 up the alley and on the street. (Luckily I know you know what I mean!)
I'm going to lay off the Street for a while - that's where I have to do the most work - but I just can't give up the Alley! (Next I'll have a website called Marion Street then you really will wonder! Lol)

Lefties is looking it's finest right now with representation from almost every local writer and artist that has anything stunning to offer. And cred to the toys who've pulled their heads and posca's in enough for pieces to dry, let alone go a few weeks, without being done over.

Call this Fight Club but I'll keep coming back here until I have no choice but to go kicking and screaming...

Mother Hubbards Cupboard

I've been working from home this week (remote accessummgood!!!) and no ops to get down the alley so this is the cleaning out of the Lefties pantry...

You can tell this one's old because you can still see the original colour of the (then) newly buffed wall April 07. There's been so many go overs since then that the masses of layers of paint are closing the alley in - soon you'll have to hold your stomach in and walk sideways ;-)



I mentioned that AK found a spot and just keeps capping himself - this was taken mid July and he's still got that spot ;-)

"There's nowhere to escape from Lefties!" was SIN's response when I asked him what Quick Hide meant.
We already know my Nokia is shit at taking close ups so I'm not even going to apologise for the crappy res - it was on the back of the TV not long before it got munted then taken away

Shiv/Sin/DR/Sker

Bold move by Shiv capping TrustMe. Granted TM had already been tagged. For such a young dude whose throwies never last long before they're either vehemently capped by one of the crews or equally as vehemently buffed by the council, he's got bollocks and just keeps throwing up.

I came across him and Nuno just after he did his first ever throwie. He was gutted because someone had YFY'd him. Not one to cry over it, he did what all violated throwie virgins are probably tempted to do - he went back over it...

So Sins balloon is still a balloon and he's still alive and happy, DRYPs stick has been lifted and a Gin nose Hitler has been pasted up by none other than...Sin. Sin's pasteys are so unpredictable.
I had collected a few images of animal toy pasteys that looked like they had human faces (inset) then found out Sin had done them. Turns out they were actual stuffed toys that he photocopied. The effect was surreal and mildly disturbing.

I personally think pasteys are Sins strongest media and I said to him the other day that I was surprised he didn't sign them. He admitted he's got a new signature we're going to be seeing soon...

DR capped Nerd above and I'm not sure if the Sker Likes Balls tag is over top or underneath?
Skers haters at least have a modicum of humour...hopefully he's not taking them too seriously - although I guess his haters wouldn't be saying that ;-)

I would bet a can of ironlak that this is Silenc but there's no way that man could slip in and out of town without us knowing about it!

Update: I just got a text from Silenc and he hasn't been here since last time but he could be cruisin down here soon. So whose is the throwie then?!
Update Oct: So - turns out it's SOAKER - Laks duly distributed ;-)
