Pedro, do you ever submit your art to contest or hobby groups or anything? Or would you allow it to be shared with other artists?

No, I don't enter into contests, I'm in no hobby groups and all my photos are unprotected, anyone can download them or copy them.

I just enjoy what I do, hanging out with some mates, smoking some ganja, or drinking beer and painting a wall.

When I say, I don't enter into contests, I do strive to paint to the best of my ability as do all my mates. It's nice to walk away from the wall at the end of the day and know you painted the best piece out of all your mates, but that doesn't often happen because I tend to paint with some shit hot writers .

Hey brah-

I was watching Top Gear the other day (one of the best shows ever made, BTW) and in one of their contests, they were admiring art such as yours all over various English cities as they passed by. Don't suppose #1 you watch that show and #2 you saw that episode and #3 yours was one of the pieces shown on worldwide television???

1. Yes I watch the show and I also love it
2. not too sure what episode you're talking about, I don't remember seeing them looking at graffiti.
3. None of my graffiti is in a place where you can drive past it in a car.

From this weekend, I painted this. (it says Julie)

My local legal wall has always been annoyingly short. We've talked for ages about all chipping in and buying some bricks and building it higher. Some time in the summer we decided to set a date and that date was 8th Sept. 2012

Me, my Hungarian mate, a Polish writer and another bloke from North London were the only ones who turned up. We worked our bollocks off in the sun and were absolutely knackered at the end of it.

I was working today, but finished at three. Nipped down to Tottenham to see who was there and discovered that if I went home and got some paint a bit lively, I'd get a chance to christen the new wall.

No time for emulsion paint background, just a 2 hour chome.

It looks like you've painted over some half-decent stuff there. Isn't that a big no-no?

Yes, it's a big no-no, but these guys have pissed me off by ignoring all my texts and pm's to build the wall, then turning up at early o'clock two weekends in a row, to grab the wall we built and painting some fugly shit. I went over all three of them... & it felt good

Coolio.
But are the teeth finished or are they meant to be glowing? Glow-in-the-dark paint on a cheshire cat would be pretty nifty.

by **Pedronicus** on Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:31 pm

the teeth are finished, but in hindsight I should of used the darker beige as an outline colour for the teeth. they don't glow in the dark I'm afraid

Take the 'P' from your gremcat pic (2 above) and the 'EDRO' from the one above and I reckon you've cracked it mate. Nice job. Now where's mine (cof cof)?

She should make it her signature.

A bloke at work told me there was a wall near his house that ideal for graffiti. Went there last week to check it out. Illegal spot, but I couldn't help myself. It's so rare to get a lightly graffitied wall and to have bricks for a background I had to give it a dollop of paint and get this shot....

It doesn't look like it, but this is about 12-14 feet high painted using my telescopic ladders. It was so nice to go back to the old days, where every noise made me stop painting and check for people.

I luv the way the brickwork brings out the color. Very nice.

Bitterly cold day. My hands were cold even wearing gloves. Some writer I'd never seen before, came walking along. I looked at him and nodded my head to acknowledge him, he nodded back. I should of, in hindsight, taken my hands out of my the front of my tracksuit bottoms, but cradling my nuts seemed to be the only way to get the feeling back in my fingers. I convinced myself that he'd understand I was warming my hands, not having an alfresco J Arthur...
