The spots were all okayed before we started so almost all illegality was eliminated from the outset, that said we did accidently paint a few things that weren’t supposed to get touched but you’ve heard the ‘omelette eggs’ scenario before..
The brief was for us to paint this big black expanses then drop the grey triangle with the orange and blue swooshes and then paint the dreaded website font.. They wanted it to look hand painted they also asked specifically for us to NOT use stencils. (you see, i said the job was good)

There were a few other spots then there was the whopper, I’m not sure the ‘Sussex safer roads’ people were expecting this but seeing as no one said we couldn’t paint to the top we thought ‘why not?’

The dude in the pic is nearly 6 foot tall..

Check the ad and see for yourselves i feel it and i’m proud to have been a part of this ‘mental’ job..

Usually B&Q is a shit spot for mis-tints and we ain’t talking magnolia nightmares here, we’re talking limes, shock pinks, black?, purples, red, dark mauves, khaki and all manner of madness.. The one like GARY found the bargain of all bargains..

Twenty five 5 litre cans at 50p each? and two crates of half litre pots (around 30 in each) for a staggering 1 pound a crate so for effectively 155 litres (35 gallons) of roller paint/emulsion/bucket paint whatever for a massive £14.50.

Like i said not massively interesting but an update nonetheless..

Does from Love Letters and I was on a short trip to Beograd/Belgrade Serbia. With some local connection and Ironlak for the support. The trip was supposed to be together with the multi-talented Mr. Wany, but since the lovely Mrs Wany was few days away giving birth to Wany junior, Wany senior couldn´t make it out to play this time. So the trip was dedicated to you Wany!!

It started out with my bagage was on the wrong plane and on its way to München. so after spending a couple of hours in Beograd Airport,rapporting it missing, We were finally on our way..

After gettin located with the New Beograd Possé, We when out to have a look  around town and try out some traditional Serbian dinner in an exceptional place, thanks to our local tour guide Angel/YCP, this was a real treat.. ..By the way Sebian dinar is like  monopoly money. 100Dinar is around 1 Euro.

Night out activity..

..Had a incident with our current wall, that involved the authorities, so we moved the location to a more hidden place..

Oh yea, after gettin started on the wall, i had to go back to the airport to pick up my bagage. On the way my ride( a Yugo model, like a Lada lookalike) ran out of benzin 2 Km. outside the airport, so after being picked up by the others and getting back to the wall the day was nearly over and the wall didnt get so tight as first expected..
