Heavy Artillery Graffiti Crew

I keep promising to up the joiners and then fail to capture lil’ TACO to force him into the hours of photoshop that it recquires to connect our graf fumblings..
We’ve been trying to keep the workrate up over the winter despite the rain, wind and bitter cold to try and establish our new moniker, some people are feeling it, some people aren’t getting it that aside we shall proceed..

AROE, REVOK, ALERT, DILK.. NOTTINGHAM 2008.
This was the first piece we got to drop on REVOK’S latest trip, apparently it took ALERT all day to emulsion the wall, so i perscribe a course of big walls and rollers for our Notts bombing compatriot.. Big respects to everyone we hung out with that day top boys..

REYES, GARY, SABER, AROE, RETNA, INSA (no pics as the gates were open, sorry joe) BRIGHTON 2008.
It’s not everyday that you get to drop a string of scorchers on home turf with such esteemed company but this was one of those days.
I know we bash those boards a lot but they are in a cool spot and a lot of people see them so we shall keep bronxing them until they are gone.

TACO, GARY, NORM, AROE, ODISY, RELAY, VERGE. BRIGHTON 2008.
Get off a plane from the west coast of the states pick up the one like NORM hook up with your pals then decorate our same favourite spot AGAIN..
This didn’t last as long as it should have probably due to the fact that the boards blew down and the contractors put them back together as best they could. Which was pretty cool considering but the fact that they’d got scuffed to bits while they were on the floor didn’t help.

AROE, ROLF HARRIS, GARY. BRIGHTON 2008.
The wobble board, cartoon time, mulshion king drops his first graf attempts in central Brighton.
ROID dropped a piece which he is yet to finnish so we can do a final joiner when its complete. He was mildly distracted while painting due to the fact that he was standing in a pile of discarded junkie clothes, human shit and heroin needles. ahhh the good life.

AYER (revok), GARY, AROE. BRIGHTON 2008.
Pouring down rain, howling wind and bitter cold helped to numb the highs of the last wall we did at the ‘TUNNEL’. GARY not scared to white outline on this occasion drops a real nice piece despite the conditions. REVOK dropped an AYER piece as a salute to his fallen comrade.

ENJOY..

ITS BEEN A MINUTE SINCE I’VE DROPPED ANY PIECES (WELL, A WEEK) THAT MIGHT’VE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED BY THE FACT THAT GARY DROPPED ABOUT 10 IN THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF..

MR WANY & AROE. FRATTON PARK..
i’m contemplating starting a graf/weather report bulletin site to prevent having to paint and battle the elements at the same time. Today didn’t quite compare to the Cambridge session a few weeks back but the beast of beaufort was out in full effect today as half our paint blew across the solent.
MR WANY planned to drop a puppet (Italian word for character) so i felt i should drop one as well, i found an Italian comic called ‘RATMAN’ i thought it was pretty apt as the keyboard cowards are currently trying their best to derail the HEAVY ARTILLERY machine with the same old boring groundless GRASS bullshit. Perhaps if these toys dedicated as much time to their own graffiti careers as they do to mine they might have one worth talking about????

I’M NOT HIDING NEVER HAVE, NEVER HAD TOO..

Notts heavyweight and UK veteran still blazing his own path through the heart of UK graf..

I felt like it was time to drop a bit of spotlight onto our least computer literate heavy artillery member. ALERT has rocked his name like a machine since the graf bomb was dropped upon these unsuspecting shores. From the glory days and groundbreaking heights of the 80’s on through those dark years during the 90’s when UK graffiti was a worldwide laughing stock. ALERT has battled for Britain, rarely sending pictures to magazines and never posting any of his mass of paintings on the net he has soldiered hard and continously to keep that flame burning and keep his name out there..

So here’s a couple of ALERT joints for you to peep..

ALERT NOTTINGHAM. this was part of the wall on the side of the pharmacy in central Notts. painted with REVOK, DILK & AROE.
No concept or theme just burners..

ALERT LOS ANGELES USA. this spot was real nice and previously only blessed with tags and scratchy throw ups so it was only right to get up and leave a more permanent mark.. painted with RIME to the right..

ALERT BRIGHTON. one of the first HEAVY ARTILLERY get togethers an oldy but goody never the less..

ALERT SAN DIEGO USA. after a relaxing drive down from LA we hooked up with killer dave aka PERSUE (pronounced per-sway) and got on with dropping it like it was hottttt..

ALERT (the tinman) LOS ANGELES USA. after a brief vist to the incredibly hospitable Hugo we loaded up the whip with about as much tins as it could carry and then set about trying to paint everyday. The whip incidently was a dodge durango and it was hella dope..

ALERT NOTTINGHAM. nothing like busting out a font to illustrate your feelings by dripping blood through it then setting it on fire..

ALERT & DILK NOTTINGHAM. Notts bombers and premiership bronxers drop this little nugget for your domepiece. Anti drip crew get a lot of respects from the ARTILLERY so keep on keeping on..

There are colour schemes then there are killer colour schemes and ALERT is a giant in the game when it comes to dangerous colourways. Shock one fellow Notts legend recently told me he thinks ALERT might have the best colours he’s ever seen… Big words indeed.
RECOGNIZE..

If you suggested to someone you might go quading over the weekend they might imagine muddy fields, tractor tyred 4 wheel bikes and childish adult behaviour. If GARY told you he went quading it meant he dropped out 4 new blazers…

GAZ central Brighton. Next to the Rolf character.

GAZ indoor spot.

GAZ Skatepark in the Brighton vicinity.

GARY yet another skatepark got the numan blessing.
