A good day, by Coach on Feb 19, 2010 21:31:25 GMT 1, Ok, so indulge me - I could post about today on lots of other threads, but the day was so good, I thought I would start one of my own. Went down to London with my lad today to check out the Faile show. Had a great time there - It's like no other show I have been to before, and that is it's strength imo. A few of my favorite pics of that:
To everyone that I said I would pick up a couple of tokens and a flyer - got em! To top it all they were giving out free T shirst for kids who came to the show - my lad is now wearing his with pride!
Then happened upon a Barclays that had the Premiership trophey - photo's taken with it, much to his delight. Had to point out to him though, that as Palace fans, we will never ever see a player of ours lift it - just being realistic!
Then went to the Case show. This was fantastic - this one was my favorite:
Outside, he had done this:
Then had the pleasure of meeting Case and Akut, and spent a while watching them paint. Words fail me - they are so talented.
Then (sorry, I know this reads like a primary school project, but I've had a few beers since getting back!) bumped into Mutate Britain, who was such a top bloke, interested in my lad's tag, pleasure to chat with, and he showed us some real gems, below a few tasters, but there was sooo much more!
Then home - the train was so full, we got bumped to first class! So funny watching the faces of the genuine first class passangers drop when they "declassify" first class, and all us oiks with kids pile in!
First class day - worth a thread of it's own, I thought - hope you agree.
Cheers coach

Looks like I missed you by about an hour. I went past as they were sketching out the two figures and the text.
If you'd have gone up to the Foundry at the top of Great Eastern Street you'd have seen Inkfetish hitting a nice piece on their wall.
There's also a new CEPT piece gone up yesterday off Kingsland Road.
Certainly a lively busy day in Gotham.
Next time you and your boy are in town give me a nudge and if i'm free i'll give you the tour.

A good day, by Coach on Feb 20, 2010 23:47:37 GMT 1, Thanks for all the comments. Grafter - I will take you up on that! My lads still havnt forgotten the time you spent painting with them at upfest 08. And they both still have their very own "Make a wish" framed, and on their walls. Next time we are heading your way, I will PM you. Sorry I missed that Cept - looks fantastic - to be honest my lad prefers that to the Case stuff - he seems to like less photorealism, more street!
Anyone been to see the Case piece finished yet - would love to see a pic.
Had meant to mention, saw some cool Mighty Mo's around there too
And this cool wall
and saw that fantastic Roa bunny (posted before I know, but good enough to be posted again I think) - the one on shutters, where you see it's insides from one angle, and the outside from another - bloody brilliant!
I like these wasps - anyone know who they are by?
Saw this with the MutateBritain fella, would like to know who this is by too
And just as we were leaving, we spotted this fella (it was a way away, so not the best pic):

LOL!! Nothing, honest!
Once again, thanks for the comments.
I have totted up all the Faile tokens and flyers that I need to send out, and find that I have one spare token and a spare flyer. Let me know if you would like them. I would prefer they went to someone abroad or quite a way from London - someone who cant make it to the show themsleves.
Cheers c

A good day, by Coach on Feb 24, 2010 21:40:15 GMT 1, All the tokens and flyers I picked up on Friday were posted out today - lots of different countries, which is cool.
Edit - apart from one pair - cos I can give them to you when we go to the Banksy film tomorrow evening!!! Sooo excited!!
Did anyone yet take a pic of the Case piece that he was painting on Friday? Having watched him painting it, I would really like to see a pic of the finished piece.
Cheers c
