Had these for lunch a few days ago but totally forgot to blog it! tiny cup noodles from a friend who came to visit london for the first time, it had been 17 years since we last spoke!
i had 3 in all - the curry one was ok, yes i ate it - one had a pizza in that broke down into wet bread bits in the soup, weird but i ate it! - and one with seafood prawns and bits of tasty pork (assuming it's pork) all in all really wasn't tasty, but i ate it. full and yet un fullfilled! better luck next time! might stick with savoury snacks that don't try to fool you with it's pretty packaging!

I don't normally paint skulls or draw them, but it was exciting and scary for me to do it like Halloween scary, so I thought why not? It could have turned out really bad, but i think i'm happy with her. Had a right good time! Big up all the other artists who were there too. Sune, Diaz 57, Betty Fishcake, Women 158, Jon Tolley, and Bodie for another great event. Happy Days.

PARIS - 'PAINT OFF AT THE CARTIER FOUNDATION'

2009-09-18T16:21:00.001-07:00

This was a bit mental, went to Paris on holiday, graffiti is really popular in galleries right now and everyone is getting involved. This exhibition was particularly good but 'non photos' DAMN! Legends exhibiting include SEEN, PHASE2, LADY PINK, JONONE, FLIP, AMAZE and loads more.
We painted outside... it was uber exciting and funny when posh people turned up in gucci handbags and cartier top to toe only to get covered in paint dust in the queue. ahahahahaha So sorry I may have ruined your £3000 outfit.
