This website showcases graffiti photos from Scotland (especially Glasgow and Edinburgh graffiti), and anywhere else I can get to. So far that includes Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Bristol, Brussels, London, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Seville and Warsaw. There are also photos other people have sent in, including graffiti from Holland, Canada, Australia and more. I also put some other photos that aren't related to graffiti on here occasionally.

Tats Cru to sue NY City for buffing their work

Posted on 13 Aug 6:59 PM

STOP SNITCHIN
Originally uploaded by Mark Williams1

Article in the New York Daily News about how the Tats Cru are going to sue NY City for buffing their Stop Snitchin' production. In a big publicity stunt in July, the City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, the Rev. Al Sharpton and others painted over it. This despite the piece originally being done with permission of the building owner. Apparently the Council decided to take offence to its message. Graffiti's a lot easier for them to deal with than say banning films from their cinemas, or burning books if they don't agree with the message.

London Street Art 2

Posted on 31 Jul 8:59 PM

Added a book review for London Street Art 2 to the site. Basically it's much the same as the rest of this series. If you've got the first London Street Art, or Berlin Street Art, or the new Brooklyn Street Art, you'll know what to expect.

DPM crew sentenced

Posted on 13 Jul 11:37 AM

On Friday at Southwark Crown Court, various members of the DPM crew were sentenced. Judge Christopher Hardy gave the following sentences:

Andrew Gillman, 25, from Battersea: 2 years jail
Ziggy Grudzinskas, 25, from Blackheath: 18 months jail
Paul Andrew Stewart, 26, from Lewisham: 18 months jail
Slav Zinoviev, 25, from Battersea: 18 months jail
Matthew Pease, 24, from Lewisham: 15 months jail
Jack Binnie, 25, from Lewisham: 12 month suspended sentence and 200 hours unpaid work order
Alex McClelland, 24, from Dulwich: 9 month suspended sentence and 150 hours unpaid work order
Matthew Tanti, 23, from Streatham: 12 month suspended sentence and 200 hours unpaid work order

Previously sentenced were:

James Teasdale, 21, from Dulwich: conditional discharge and ordered to pay £300 compensation
Mark Goss, 22, from Sidcup: 10 months jail sentence (five months of which were suspended), together with an ASBO

During a three-month police surveillance operation they caused damage supposedly costing £240,000. From this, the judge speculates: "Using these figures, it's easy to see how over a two-year period of operation the bill would run into millions."

Yet he also said "It would be wrong of me not to acknowledge that some examples of your handiwork show considerable artistic talent, part of what is now known as the graffiti subculture and on the way to being recognised as a valid form of art."

As was widely reported, Andrew Gillman was hired to do some graffiti on the Eastenders set. The BTP even have photos of this on their press release, and it was brought up by the prosecution in court. I'm not sure of the relevance to the case though, as it can't have formed part of the evidence. I can only assume it was done to give this case a high media profile.

As reported in:

Banksy unmasked?

Posted on 13 Jul 11:06 AM
Article in the Mail on Sunday, outing Banksy as Robin Gunningham, a former public schoolboy. Assuming they're correct, is there really any public interest in such details as his childhood medical history, or where his parents live?

ORGY jailed for nine months

Posted on 13 Jul 10:56 AM

Neil Adam Davies, aka Orgy, was jailed on Friday at Southwark Crown Court for nine months. He was charged with two counts of criminal damage, which he pleaded guilty to. Judge David Higgins said the matter was so serious that it warranted a custodial sentence. "What you do is distasteful, disgraceful and profoundly anti-social."
