Heavy Artillery Graffiti Crew

TRAVEL UPDATE..

after a mega long haul back from the states to iceland (via a rather big london gunfinger dance off with Relay and Tanone) I took a deep breath and about a days rest before jumping straight on plane to Copenhagen.

Not knowing what to really expect I met my adl homeys in blazing sunshine for beer plans and catch up. My main reason for going was to paint another mural/ projection for some icelandic ladies I know well at thier new bar (peep jolene bar if your in copenhagen). so the week was allready pretty much laid out for me.

Basically I wanted to keep my self as busy as possible so I went stright to copenhagen street wear store the next day to hook up an interview for grapho, that boxed off it was time for more beers and catch up with my buddys the street super heroes and duaboys. holla.

Then graf mode kicked in with a ten man wall at the infamous sundhavn harbour spot, good looking out all who attended. the weather stayed pretty fresh the whole week not a cloud in the sky. Next event was to hit up the nordic hip hop festival for a live board paint with blend, great, bates and a whole bunch of other scando’s thanks to all involved for the good day, good beers and good chicken sandwich. Peep me on the tinternet some time soon with a little interview on molotow tv at the hip hop fest, I felt like Ricky Bobby in taledega nights not really knowing what to do with my hands!!!

the bar painting took the best part of two days but I still found time to rock a cosmic castle blaster with the super talented gebes and my icebrother kopur at Christania.

all in all it was probably my best stay in cph, I love this city, wholesome girls on bikes, bombed to death streets and loads of good people to chill with.

jiroe a.k.a phileous fogg up in this graf game.

Since its been a while between postings i’ll display our latest outing in a step by step fashion..

The recent decision to drop more characters (puppets) has had us scouring the reference material for the stupidest ideas to transfer onto the wall. Today was no exception, throughout my youth sundays used to be a combination of various dumb ass activities in the morning, one of my mum’s disgusting roast dinners then some sh*t afternoon tv, the highlight/low point had to be ‘bullseye’. Perhaps someone has reproduced bully somewhere before i’m sure they have, but today we got our bully on.

Mulshing..

Bully starting to take shape and the one like GARY dropping some straightness (more on that in a second)

Bit more filling in..

When we paint at the boards lots of people pass by, some are amusing some are are drunken junkies that think they have some ultra deep interesting nuggets of graf info that they think you need to hear and others are just pricks that say dumb shit like “how much are you getting paid?” or “ohh look it’s the new banksy” or other really smart shit like ” quick mate, the police are coming”. But today a builder stopped in his van while we were painting and showed a genuine interest in the painting, he was amazed by GARY’S super straight lines to the point where to satisfy his curiousity he rifled through his tools to reveal a spirit level. Anxiously we waited to see if the inhuman one really did rock it as straight as we believe he can..

Please check the following picture for the absolute proof..

Ladies and gentlemen please recognise the human theodolite aka the inhuman GARY numan..

Here’s the final finished GARY & AROE ‘BULLSEYE’ production.
Obviously the letters are by GARY but i think the combo works really well.

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..
