Agree :)

Stik will be painting a wall in Dulwich Park today. The end wall of the building next to the bowling green, opposite the children's playground. A class from the Hamlet school is coming to watch and possibly participate between 2 and 3 if its not pouring with rain. It was surprisingly easy to get permission for this, even Southwark council loves Stik's work!

How completely awesome!


Dulwich should be honoured, his manages to convey expression and emotion in such few brush strokes


he should be commended not vilified, his work is thoughtful, not thoughtless and mindless like the tags you see on bus stops/trains etc


:-)

The Hamlet kids just loved Stik and helped him with his painting in Dulwich Park this afternoon. Their teacher said they were privileged to have the opportunity of working with such a popular street artist.

The Dulwich Picture Gallery has sent out a press release about how delighted they are with Stik's renditions of the classical works in their collection.


No, this is not graffiti as many people understand it, it is art in the streets. It is free for everyone to enjoy and open 24 hours a day.

DULWICH FESTIVAL STREET ART WALK - SUNDAY 20 MAY @ 2.30

Stik and Ingrid are taking a walk by Stik's recent street art works on Sunday 20 May beginning at 'The Guardian Angel' at Push Studios, Blackwater Court, Blackwater Street, and ending at Dulwich Picture Gallery where you will be able to see the inspiration for his works. They will be talking about the meeting of street art and classical art on the walls of Dulwich. Come and meet the artist.


Tickets (?4/2)on the Dulwich Festival website. Tickets include free entrance to Dulwich Picture Gallery.

My initial concern, when councillors were notified of this project by council officers, was also about the possible impact of "copycat" graffiti in the area. But, having met Stik last Saturday, I'm greatly reassured by his responsible, pro-community stance.


And, as Ingrid stresses, this isn't just a random, opportunistic operation... it's a specific community "performance art" project, uniquely based on renditions of the works in the Dulwich Picture Gallery in tandem with the timing of the Dulwich Festival, executed with the permission of the owners of the sites.


If there is an increase in graffiti in the area, I will personally ask Arf, our amazing street-cleaning manager, to send his graffiti-busters down here... or, if anyone wants to report graffiti in general, call our Environment Call Centre on 020 7525 2000.

I missed it last weekend due to other commitments but I heard that he let a girl (albeit another graffiti artist) paint with him. Damnit I guess I?m not blonde and attractive enough! My friend saw the photos on facebook and it looks fabulous ? the artwork not the girl, however??

You are a very ignorant person..


I've been the victim of grafitti 'Artists' when my 4 year old Renault Master van was

sprayed by one of these gits..


Let me know if you would like me to spray your home or car..


I suppose not..


Fox

It depends.


If you're a planning of tagging the front of my house is some pointless scrawl whilst I'm sleeping unawares, then probably not.


If you're an artist, creating something which I deem to be of worth, and you have my permission, then go ahead.




If you're incapable of understanding the difference, then the ignorance is all yours.

Well I am not a vandal and respect other people property, so I will not be tagging your home.


Whether or not I'm an artist is a matter of peosonal taste.


Judgeing by the taste of many people here on EDF, I probably could get away with it.


Let me know if you still want my services and I will send you a Quote for the work.. ;-)

Did not use a Red Filter. otherwise the Sky would be red as well.


And it was not done in PhotoShop...


There is a lot more work than that...

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
