Thus ends a great week.
Last weekend myself and KVLR started repainting a wall we’d done a few years back as part of the ever great Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival. Hoping to get back to finish it sometime this week. Thanks muchly to Sean from the CQAF, and all at C.A.P. for providing paint.
Then the double whammy from the good folk at Whitewash and No More Traffik On Our Streets for a two day extravaganza of live painting, creating awareness of human trafficking. Saturday saw the wine-merchants on Corporation Street in Belfast get a splash of colour while 11 artists did their thing on individual sections of 13′x8′ wall. Sunday was the main Whitewash event in T13.
Happy happy fun times, big up to DMC and all involved for their hard work.
YEO!

Just finished working with the wonderful people at Flickerpix Animation Studio for the last couple of weeks, here’s what they’ve said about it on their website, which you should check out!
‘We’re currently shooting a series of idents for Channel 4’s That Paralympics Show, featuring iconic presenter Ade Adepitan in miniaturised silicon form.
In each of these ten idents, our animated Ade puppet will perform some of his best known basketball stunts, whilst in the background, Belfast-based street artist FRIZ, whose work you can check out here, will spray paint various murals representing Paralympics sports. Everything will be shot in time-lapse photography, making the world around artists and puppet move in lightning fast pace…’
Will share more when they are being shown on Ch4.
Was an absolute joy working alongside Vicky, Megan, Joel, Johnny, Simon, Jasbeer, Paul, Jordan and Callum (Master of Tea!).
Saturday 31st March saw the awesome funtimes that was Titanic Lockdown in the T13 space which will be happening again in June.
Had the pleasure of painting a wall with fellow Spoomers KVLR & REDMONK
I painted an alternative pin -up style Dorothy Gale from the Wizard of Oz, with Toto and a Winged Monkey. A mix of spray and acrylic brushwork.

I had high hopes for Whitewash V at the MCAC in Portadown, and I wasn’t disappointed!
I was lucky to have been invited as a guest artist to paint at the event by DMC and I was in amazing company. Other artists painting on the night included ADW, Matthew Knight, Visual Waste, JMK, FOX,Chris Cunningham, Lee Boyd, BAG and DMC himself managed to rock up an awesome piece while running the show! Shout out to Verz (who I finally met on the night), Thee Renrut, Gerry, Eoin, KVLR and Tweet. If you didn’t get down on Friday you still have a few weeks to check out the work. Great tunes, awesome art and good company. Can’t ask for anything more! Missed this one? Don’t miss the next! This event is just gonna get bigger and better!
This is the piece I did on the night, ‘Lil’ Red’
