The BBC news on 'Baroque the Streets', from 22 mins onwards... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01sfvby/BBC_London_News_14_05_2013/

I think Roa was painting on Choumert Road today... haven't checked it out, will probably head down tomorrow some time. There is a leaflet in loads of shops and bars round East Dulwich for 'Baroque the Streets', it has a map with artists/locations one side, but no times/dates because these are a bit more fluid.

Interesting points there computedshorty... hope you're heading along to the street art debate upstairs at the EDT this Sunday? http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/21AP13BaroquetheStreets10_19513REMI_SYSTEM10513_zps1d13658a.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/22AP13BaroquetheStreets10_19513REMI_SYSTEM10513_zpse5cecad6.jpg

'Fraid the Barry/Goodrich wall is already bagsied... and just to clarify if there is anyone out there contemplating their very own stencilled wall, I am not planning anything the size of the Harrington piece behind the EDT! A wall/area around 2.5 x 2.0 metres is all I ask. Thanks for reading.

Stunning painting in my humble opinion... Conor Harrington nailed it! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/10BaroquetheStreets10_19513CONNORHARRINGTON1513_zpsbf470be9.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/11BaroquetheStreets10_19513CONNORHARRINGTON1513_zpsf4d9a544.jpg And a mini detail of something I sprayed in the festival house yesterday...

If there's anyone out there that owns a lovely wall in and around Lordship Lane and is interested in some aerosol love on it message me and I can give you the low down... shop owners more than welcome to join in too. Nigello has already mentioned a wall on the corner of Barry and Goodrich Road (which I'm checking) and Chillaxed pointed out the Spurling and East Dulwich Road wall, which I believe has already got some serious painting plans!

cyclenut Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Guilty, at the tender age of 17, my ?Crew? and I took it upon ourselves to bring a bit of colour to a drab wall. The area was very different back then. Lordship lane was a dying high street following the opening of Sainsbury?s. EDT was grubby, I don?t believe the comedy nights had started yet. We had ambitious plans, and sought permission from the residents of the building. Once we had the go ahead we set about our work. 2 days later (well 6 hours, we were young and didn?t rise before midday!), you?ve seen the result. The entire piece was created using aerosol paint, no stencils, paintbrushes or other tools. The idea was to show off our skills and in doing so get a name for ourselves. Similar art had been commissioned by the Royal Opera house in Covent Garden, and was produced by a rival Crew (TCA, The Chrome Angels). We thought we were at least as good as them, and wanted to show it. Henry Chalfont (Subway Art and later Spray Can Art), thought so, and features several pieces of our work in his books. As pointed out, the work was unfinished. Some residents, a young couple, returned from holiday, complained, and demanded we stop. We did, and it remained in the unfinished state for 25 years fading, before being roughly painted over (it remained longer than the residents!). I stopped "graffing" to pursue a career in IT a few of years after this was completed, my brother works in film, 2 other crew members in art, design and illustration. Great times, the height of Hip-Hop, an entire movement dedicated to dance, graffiti and music, happy days? ------------------------------------------------------- cyclenut... presuming you went under the moniker Flyboy aka Harm? I moved to East Dulwich in 2000 but don't remember seeing it before it was painted over! But I know people that remember it well and consider it a historic writers wall because of your piece. Have just been tawling through the interweb and found some more photos of it, all saying it was approx. 1985. http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4065/4711406232_175a9406b0_b.jpg controlling the city p1 by HytestA, on Flickr http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4031/4710764323_a42f13522a_b.jpg controlling the city by HytestA, on Flickr http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1289/4711406152_060786e079_b.jpg controlling the city p2 by HytestA, on Flickr

We don't need another pretentious independent shop to add to the rest of the shops aimed at only a small niche middle-class price range.

A while ago I was asked to help out with a new brewery in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Brasserie du Quercorb, the idea was to use some stencils on the labels.
