Ha, I’ve got that cope2 book!

Bit late on this, but my condolences, Known was up a lot along the Thameslink line, used to see it frequently when I was heading into London to skate. Fresh, original style that didn’t look like it was trying too hard. It really stood out, the really good German writers I used to skate with at the time always noted it. Pretty sure I bit his style for a few pages in my sketchbooks of the time. Along with cosa and bosh one of the big London names of that era.

Man steals Banksy. Tries to get it valued on Antiques Roadshow.

Going to town on Oxford Circus Tube station:

A video of the full work from Oxford Street Station https://youtu.be/9FWWokFLE8w

The Crews went to work!!!!!

That popped up on my insta stories yesterday, mental, how on earth did they manage that?!? 😂✊

Fucking nice! DDS have been doing Xmas station bombings for years now. Generally just get on to the tracks somehow and walk on in

Elephant and Castle tube station used to get done every Christmas. They would get into the sidings ,go through the trains stabled there and then walk up the tracks.

So how did it keep getting done if it was fairly predictable that it would happen?

With Oxford Circus, I would have thought the nearest open track access would be very far away?

I've seen videos of crews walking tracks for 45mins to access certain spots. Or just get in via closed access then ;)

Christmas eve used to be the only night where the stations and depots were actually locked up and everyone home.
There are loads of places on the network that use a basic tool/key to gain access.
They did employ security supposedly!

I love eggs nw1

I have a very passing interest in graffiti but can't help be impressed with how far spread the Eggs stuff is. I work in Redhill and see their stuff all along my commute from south east London, all the way down to past Purley.

BTP will be right on trying to get them for this. Some balls to do that though.

I see on Insta that eggs has done a few trains as well recently, love it...

Eggs has also done a van (spotted near the Blackwell Tunnel) and the gantry on the A23/M23 slip road near my old stomping ground.

I saw another three in Hackney Wick too.

I have a few french Graff mags from like 2006/07 when I lived there. was briefly very into it, but never had the balls to actually do anything. euro stuff always seemed way more exciting than the UK, especially the massive roller pieces. loved that.

A mate just sent me a photo he found of one of my old throw-ups. Did a few of these Elvis haired birds here and there. I might have posted up a Royal Mail carriage of them I did probably around a similar time. Kind of assuming I can’t get did for stuff like this I did 15 years ago, so ok to post up here! 😬

Here it is. The same mate weirdly stumbled across it in some dump yard in the middle of nowhere, 10 years after I’d done it. Very strange! Think I have the photo he took somewhere.

Defacing walls with paint? It could catch on.
