    Saner – Efimero Film

    One of my favourite artists from the recent Street Sketchbook: Journeys book is Saner.

Here’s a preview of a new film being made featuring him and various artists from Mexico City. Some beautiful use of colour…

  • Sickboy: Busted Parachute

    Sickboy: Busted Parachute

    Sickboy’s mix of Pop Typographic Architectural Spiritual Funk has always been my cup of tea…. He is an artist who I’ve had the pleasure of following for almost a decade – (Don’t worry I don’t mean literally following). But due to watching his work grow on the streets of Bristol and over the years supporting…
