Had to post this. Who said graffiti is ugly - I guess this kind of scene would be a dividing line between people who can sense the creative energy, culture, and colour that graffiti can bring and those who can’t stand it… I think it’s almost beautiful.
Found the image from a great site that is constantly updated with people saving interesting images, quite a good source for inspiration. The site is FFFound.com
This is a collaboration piece with THE KRAH. The KRAH is a greek born international street artist. He has recently been included in many street art publications & a book on Greek street art (see right image).
See the piece itself below (framed & detail). Details: “All City”, JRM & THE KRAH, 2010, ballpoint + pens + spray paint on card, 110 x 88cm (framed), 75 x 55cm (unframed), for sale (contact for price).
This is undoubtably the first of it’s kind. Combining ballpoint photo-realism and street art style work in spray paints and pens.
I’m responsible for the buildings (done in ballpoint), obviously KRAH’s responsible for the colour madness. It is mounted and framed in solid oak. More info and a video of this piece after the image below…
The piece is for sale, if you are in London and would like a viewing, don’t hesitate to ask.
There is a short video on YouTube of this piece, see below for an embedded version.

Recently done a couple of drawings, using Busk to do his tag on the drawings. Busk is a very active UK/London graffiti artist. He’s just done an interview with UKadapta (UK urban culture web magazine). They’ve got him down as an UK Graffiti Pioneer, so, look for him into the future.
Below are the two drawings of mine during my solo show which feature his tag in (click to enlarge), hope to do some more collaboration work with him in time.
Its true, NY DJ Bobby Corridor put together what may be the most comprehensive DJ mix set of Hip-hop ever recorded (bobbycorridor_hiphopmegamix.mp3), 600 tracks in about an hour (10 tracks every minute). The tracks aren’t just slammed together, this is great mixing, so smooth you mostly won’t notice the changes (lots of instrumentals used, i think). Records from Wu-Tang to Tribe Called Quest to Dr Dre, Biggie, Jeru, BDP, Madlib, Snoop etc etc, find the full track listing and more here.
