Cheers b0b for the linkage

The Temple Bar traders association has created a project where all the traffic signal boxes will be covered with work from various artists. According to this clip on RTE it’s all thanks to people tagging the boxes. So if it wasn’t for graffiti the boxes would still look dull and grey. Most of the art work is shit so I’d love to see the entries that didn’t make the grade. Read more from the traders association here.

Love this shot…

There’s an in-depth article on the DPM trial here, as seen on HurtYouBad.

Issue 16 of Swindle magazine has a feature on Conor Harrington AKA Mr. Who from Cork. Now although this lot claim to be “at the forefront of the global street art scene” they still make the mistake of calling him a landmark London artist. I suppose he does live there, but still…

Anyway the magazine is in shops now. They don’t have that or the CEPT article online, but you can read the one on EINE.

The BTP really went to town on London’s DPM crew. Here’s the BTP press release.

“Nine vandals have pleaded guilty to one of the largest graffiti conspiracies ever brought to trial.”

Someone’s set up a facebook group to raise awareness of their plight. And an article from The Times.

…although they did use the tried and tested “writing’s on the wall” again. Here’s another article about KONK in the paper.

I saw a KING KONK piece down off Thomas St there the other week (in that disused yard behind the Digital Hub). Presumably a play on words rather than a statement on his position in the hierarchy, as it were. Anyway, best of luck to the lad in his next court appearance.
