Been out and about this weekend messing about with a few new pieces of equipment I bought, and went to check out the legal wall that began on New Street but seems to have grown round and onto Calton Road and Old Tolbooth Wynd. Alongside some familiar names, I came across some work from one … Continue reading »
There’s without doubt no better way to spend your weekend than lapping up some of 2013′s best musical offerings in the capital so far. With promoters unwilling to gamble on big names in Janurary when most of us have no money, and little motivation to head out into the shit weather, things are lighting up … Continue reading »
For part 2 of my ‘Scots on Walls’ blog feature, I managed to catch up with Conzo Throb, the Scottish artist/illustrator whose work, especially those in Glasgow, will instantly recognise. After a busy start to 2013 I was pleased that Conzo found time to knock out some very entertaining chit chat on big topics such … Continue reading »
The guys over on Hookedblog.co.uk have been searching east London for Pablo Delgado‘s second wave of missing posters, but this time with an added twist. Pablo’s missing posters this time actually are missing someone, they can be found within 50m of the original poster. Such a great idea, a kind of street art scavenger hunt. His last … Continue reading »
The UK’s only multi-venue festival (Wee Dub Festival) dedicated to the diverse and enduring sound of Jamaican music returns next month, laying down a weekend of emerging and established bands, DJs, MCs and soundsystems throughout Edinburgh.

So, I’ll start of 2013 with an artist whose work I’ve been admiring over the … Continue reading »
Nick Cocozza is a Scottish illustrator/street artist who hails from Glenrothes, but now calls the street art mecca, Berlin, his home. I caught up with him for an interview in between running his highly successful clothing label, Bad Blood Clothing, and preparing for a multitude of upcoming projects to discuss his work, career so far … Continue reading »
I came across Chrisse Kunst by accident, a German illustrator who appears to be based in and around Berlin. Some great detailed ink drawings of famous and not so famous scenes around Berlin, really cool to see the city in a different light with these. Particular favourites are the scene of desolation between Warschauer Strasse … Continue reading »
It was only recently that I discovered ‘Jaz’ the Argentinian street artist specialising currently in massive large scale work, often combining surreal depictions with prominent brashly coloured shapes and lines. The artist that I feel is probably most similar to Jaz is Conor Harrington, but even then, both of their styles are very different. Below … Continue reading »
Been meaning to take a look along at Edinburgh’s hub for street art on New Street recently, particularly after having seen Conzo’s recent work on the boards. Just in case we don’t get any photos in time (got a feeling this may have been gone over already) here’s one from the artist, entitled Tonic Spirit. … Continue reading »
