The Cans Festival UK

I headed down to the Cans Festival yesterday which was located in a disused ex-Eurostar train terminal in Waterloo. The queue to get in was enormous and I could see why. Around 40 stencil artists from around the world had been invited to paint their stuff in a 600 meter tunnel.


The show is officially on until Monday 5th May but the tunnel will become pedestrianised straight after. To be honest, I don't know how long the pieces will last with all those street-art haters out there. There will be probably be some vain attempts at stealing some of the owrk straight off the walls too.









I'd also like to thank Fark FK for managing to let us in the back way and making sure we didn't have to queue for the hour and a half like everyone else! Thanks a bunch mate!

Master Street Painter Kurt Wenner

Kurt Wenner has been around longer than Julian Beevers, but wasn't lucky enough to have the viral email element that Beevers had. Some say Wenner was the creator/pioneer of Anamorphic Street Art (using geometry to create an illusion of depth).




His work may seem same-same but he was the first. And there's no denying that he knows how to paint that Italian Masters style!

1st Person Football View

I never thought I'd be posting about football, especially not after my team was just knocked out of the Semi-Finals of the UEFA Champions League last night by Chelsea (wankers!). But this video by NikeFootball is a pretty darn good rendition of what it must be like to play on the field with a bunch of superstars. Only 2 minutes long and well worth a watch!
