THE TIGER PRINCES GET FALSED ON BRICK LANE

THE TIGER PRINCE CUBS


my good freind false and i went for a paint this sunday, we decided that brick lane would be a good spot since we hadn't painted there together yet.


some flavour being dropped by false here


we were painting over a painting that was a gudden, i felt a little bad, especially as the locals seemed to really like the prexisting painting..but determined to impress and maintain a standard we dropped some paint, in the end the locals were happy to have a new squatter in their run down east end carpark...


on sunday the light faded to black...we were a late starter, and so we returned to do touch ups, im so glad i didnt take the lazy route and actually finished the crown cos it looked like shit when i left it sunday night...yeah, so day two... monday, turned up at the spot, and some people that turned out to be barzillian were filming, two girls were being filmed...after a while, i was asked if i could be filmed painting for their Brazilian programme airing... i thought yeah no worries, i wasn't paying much attention to what they were doing as wanted to get this done  and get going...again i was asked if i minded and this time if the girls being filmed, could change behind me, i was thinking yeah i don't care but u have to ask linda, she was sat sunning, with lola....anyway turns out the girls weren't changing they were stripping and they were being filmed......um wha that fuk man...they wanted me to sign a consent form, after asking what it was about, i discovered it was for a porn site and i was like yeah no thanks u dont have my consent....what a weird day that was...


dedicated to  my linda zina aslaksen the tigress...


oh yeah i didn't mention on the sunday, we were painting away three hours went by, no problem, feeling comfy because we were hidden from all the sunday hustle and bustle on the brick lane street, nice wall blocking us from street view...and all of a sudden some commotion kicks off... turns out the police were sorting out illegal market sellers, fucking great, we got a bit apprehensive, as we were painting illegally...somehow despite the copper being a turd, we blagged our way out of a fine and all that shiz and we resumed painting...phewwwwwww...thanks to that man living in he carpark that said it was refreshing to see us doing what we were doing...one love 


love what hipstamatic did to this photo


oh yeah see that, thats sun...it was sunny this ....autumn...haha..mmmmmm...

THE CHESHIRE STREET CAT

HE WENT THAT WAY - NO HE WENT THAT WAY


this is painted on cheshire street off brick lane in east london...i spotted malarky throwing some paint on a wall next to where this painting now is, i was on a mission around brick lane for some legal walls...malarky is what you might call...up...at the moment, in east london he's killllling it, literally in one summer he has taken east london out...anyway back to me cos this is my ego here... i asked him who's wall it was and i got introduced to roger...hello roger how u doing, i want to paint a wall please...can i paint that one please...i do photo realistic animal portraits...how bout i do the modern version of the chesire cat that malarky is already painting...he seemed to think it was a good idea...i thought it an even better idea when he offered to pay for my paint...result...thanks malarky....laterz...leave some walls behind for us you greedy artist...


the original version of the ol' cheshire cat and his devilishly deceiving grin...


and thats the newer version...the one jonny depp was starred with....


i realised that although i was painting a cat next to a more obvious cheshire cat on cheshire street a lot of people might not get my take on it, so i added the pink and purple colours to the background and added the famous quote... he went that way...is it that famous...o well who cares, it  made me feel i was fitting the breif....and so no one probably has a clue... but its a good eye i did there...



so what ya think lola...should i do one of your mate loke next time, rather than some stranger on flickrs cat...damn i cant remember where i got this photo now i should be crediting it...
bad louis...bad creditor...sorrrrrrry
