Éiresol Style - Irish Graffiti

Some new stuff up on Jor’s Gallery worth taking a look at.

“More than 20 street artists participated in the event, sponsored the Supervia commuter railroad and by non-governmental organizations that work with social assistance for youths from slums and poor communities.”

…something fresh. Painted for a Skinnyman gig up North last year.

Just added an update to the photo gallery… some photos from Dublin’s docklands, and street-side action from all over the country. Click below to have a gander…

…”We are bringing together four of the world’s leading graffiti artists from Brazil to create a unique burst of colour, embracing the walls and turrets of the south side of Kelburn Castle and the castle grounds”

Some more local lads were involved too, including Elph, Lyken, Gaz Mac, Skint, Macism, Soul Relik, Pure, As One, Vera and Rogue One.

“Here’s an opportunity for artists of every persuasion to design an abandoned shop front on one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city centre.

“The site in question (pictured below) is 2 old shop fronts, with the old window frames, doors, signs etc clearly visible under the black paintover. Both shop fronts are 6m wide each and 4m high. The brief for this competition is, using the existing framework of the shop front, re-interpret it and create your own dazzler of a shop front, with signage, window scenes and fantastical colours… or whatever else you might come up with, ’tis all up to you.

“The deadline for entries is Monday May 21st 6pm with the winner being announced in the June edition of Totally Dublin. There is also a fund of up to €500 to pay for parts and materials.

Entries can be e-mailed in PDF or Jpeg format to paintjob [at] bodytonicmusic.com or:

Nice impact seeing this for the first time heading up Dame St. towards College Green. It looked painted on when driving by at night but it’s a big printed banner. Pity they didn’t crop the photo a bit better. (It’s just an ad for Playstation incase you were thinking of visiting the website!). Click for a big pic.
