Very nice stencil and immediate placement looks very good from what is shown.

[Maxie]

looking good

[Michael Jacob]

great work. would also look cool to spray with glow in the dark paint on top of the white.

[Natas]

Very nice Grafter

[Coach]

Brilliant. Love it.
Really get a feel of the old geezer drawing hard on a rolly. Cold and a little sad. Very strong piece.
Qulality imo.

Great work, I agree with crazyjake, would look cool glow in the dark as the flash on your camera makes it glow, its a cool effect

[Grafter]

In and around Hackney/Camden Town...

[defy]

grafter thats wicked my son!
....did you do a similar type stencil (to the one on your profile) at the top of leonard street by the Princess Pub?
keep up the good work mate

[Grafter]

Thanks Guys,
timba82, If you mean this one......

Then............, Yes it was me.

[timba82]

yeh thats it mate.like it.
made me chuckle!

Hey Grafter,

Really nice stuff there mate, i love it that youve actually stencilled it on the streets, as a lot of people only do it on canvas and think there streetartists.

I think the make a wish piece is really clever, i like the way youve used the spray mist . The flower thing (dont know what you call it in english ) could have had a bit more detail, but ofcourse for a street piece it isnt really necessary.

the guy with the board is also cool, i like it that youcan add different sentences to it. It seems to that the man himself is too short. Maybe add some some length to his legs?

But great stuff, and keep spraying the streets!

[Grafter]

Thanks GVD.

I know what you mean....I personally don't believe any piece can be classified as 'street art' if it hasn't been done on the street 1st. I have passed on plenty of nice prints that become available simply because they are only available as a print or canvas.

I have just finished cutting a new stencil of the sandwich board guy and have BIG street plans for him over the next week in the run up to the london Mayoral Electons. Will post pics when done.
I have modified it slightly and, yes he HAS got longer legs.

[Heavyconsumer]

grafter, liking your work, sadly I'm too far from home to check it out in situ, but keep it up mate! Love the dandelion piece!

[Danny O'Connor]

I agree that to call yourself a street artist you need to have art on the street. I'm gonna get some pics of my street art posted soon.

Look forward to seeing what you do with the sandwich board guy, the possibilities are endless with that one!!!

[Grafter]

Took quite a while this one as I had to whitewash the boards 1st. Got a real buzz outa' getting this one up. Done it in daylight with a Hi-vis jacket on and no one even blinked an eyelid.

Hope you like....







I've got something else ready to go up along the same lines, only bigger..Hopefully will get them up today.

[Danny O'Connor]

Great stuff Grafter! Love the photography on the last pic too!
You could probably get away with just about anything in a hi-vis jacket.

How about actually leaving real sandwich boards with messages stenciled on them around the streets, now that I'd like to see! How long would it take before someone decided to shift them?

keep us updated mate!

[Grafter]

I had thought of that Doc, just really pushed for time as I've got so many other things on the go.
I Think you'll like what I'm planning to get up today, if it ever stops bloody raining that is.

Thanks for your input.

[Agent Provocateur]

Nice one grafter... looks great. Did you think about using any of our silly suggestions (from your last thread) for wording on the boards?

[Grafter]

Thanks AP.

Yeah, stay tuned, some great suggestions from you guys. Just need time to cut them all.

[GVD]

Hahaha nice man!

I also want to try to do something in the broad daylight. but i think i look too young for someone who works for the city council.

I like your tag. You should do the sandwich man livesize!

[Grafter]

Thanks GVD.
Life size guy already done, just waiting for a chance to get it up.

You'd be surprised how little attention gets paid to you when you wear a hi-vis....everyone just accepts that you obviously have some valid reason for being there. I also carry a bucket that I keep my paint in and cover them up with cleaning products and cloths. This makes them think you're actually cleaning the graff off. ;D

[Agent Provocateur]

I know wot you mean about the time taken to cut things out... especially typography !

Looking forward to the next set of pics
