Whitecross St Party

In its third year the Whitecross St party is like no other, the street becomes a giant canvas and theatre featuring the works of both established and emerging artists. This year the theme was the "rise of the non-conformists". Dancing, music and food stalls line the street. Paka and his fire horse one of the many artists that kept the crowds enthralled.

Girl does it like the Boys

This piece appeared in Kings Cross recently. The work of German street artist Schmultzfink, who began his street career in the summer of 2011. His first character was skribbel the banker.
Like many street artists he aims to challenge our way of thinking and stereotypes. This one is of a girl peeing standing up.

Street Art

East London is synonamous with street art - on both "legal" and "illegal" walls. I went on a guided walk with RJ Rushmore who was a mine of information. He also took us to a street art gallery called the Black Rat Project, tucked away under railway arches in Shoreditch. Check out the gallery site and RJ's blog Vandalog.

Cool Art - Charlie Anderson

Last night was the opening of an exciting young Scottish artist, Charlie Anderson, at the "Art of Money" gallery. The work is vibrant and colourful. First glimpse it appears to be a collage of posters and billboards or newspaper cuttings, however it has all been created by paint.

Charlie is winner of several awards including being winner of the British Airways Degree Show. prize in 2009. This is an artist to watch.
