its looking pretty tidy down whitecross st, had sushi at pham last night (best sushi in london), and made the missus trail behind me as i checked all the pieces out. Ronzo roaches looking good, as was the sheps and datas piece. Some.... meh, not my cup of tea, but still good to see up.

They will be encouraged to learn art of stencilling as well as all the usual antics including a bouncy castle. Also look out for Giles walkers new robots appearing on the street for the party as well as a pretty nice 'mad in England' print release by Carrie Reichardt and a large moth release by Data aka Rob Wass. Also come hungry there will be some really nice grub and the whole of the barbican to explore afterwords with tons of music inside. Also the SHP art show is around the corner (12 Old Street) and open on saturday, so loads to see. |

He he yeah I hate the building too, but will be some pretty talented musicians gracing the space and the outdoor bit at the back can be quite nice next to the water but truth be known it will be fortune street park where you'll really want to rest up, which is a little park down an alley next to golden lane campus just off Whitecross street. |

Well, that's it. I have tried not to double up on Morthergarss's pics to much. Great day. Every bit as good as last year. Real pleasure to meet George Morton Clark and Zeus for the first time - both utter gents. Great to catch up with Ben Slow and Cosmo again too. Lovely hot day, relaxed atmos. Great kids areas too - so the boy got to do a bit of tagging  |

Great pics! It's a really nice event and I agree, it deserves to more known. I went last year to this show and I keep a very nice souvenir… Unfortunately I don't live in London now so I couldn't attend. I love the work of Stik, one of my favorite, but the character he painted this year is not the same he painted last year???   Did someone tooks pics of Matt Small work? |

Went down yesterday, i work fairly close by so swinging by Whitecross Street on my day off seemed a bit strange. Brilliant day out I reckon. Quite a lot of food stalls which is whats it's like Mon-Fri normally so I was a tad disappointed that there wasn't more stalls selling art stuffs, prints and similar. Well done to the guys at Guest Framing who clearly put a great deal of effort into making the event happen, lovely people too.

It wasn't the framers that put in on, it was co-organised by the local homeless charity SHP, the local community centre St Lukes and Teddy Baden. Next year (Part 3), will be kicking. Don't forget about the photo comp ... www.wxstreetparty.co.uk/getInvolved.html |
