Radio-izm, NY early 1986
Posted by some Dutch writers who had visited NY that year and brought a little bit of that style back to Europe.

Painted this belated tribute to Dez (DJ Kayslay) with my mate Micky, somehow the portrait turned into a psychedelic robot noting like I'd usually draw.
Comment of the day was 'He's only got one eye, like the guy I hit in the face with my dogchain popping his eyeball open and permanently blinding him, resulting in me getting 3 years in the jail' from a fully face tattooed but very friendly man.
He later went on to tell me about how Malcolm McLaren brought graffiti and rap music to the UK because he'd went to NY after the Sex Pistols broke up, seems before the heroin he was into stuff.

- flol such a cheeky bastard making sure you got your name far right and bright. That is amazing and you get a standing applausegarbage
- I wish I'd painted my name a bit bigger, it's a wee bit small compared to the other letters, but the background took so long to do I lost a bit of focus.PhanLo
- Still sick. Your palette is the strongest.garbage

The first of a big series that I am working on.
Starts off as an AI composition then into photoshop for overpainting and other details.

from the weekend
- u did dat?jagara
- Yep, it was for a mate who used to write Ase. He can't physically paint any more sadly, so occasionally I do some bits for him.PhanLo
- nice work. You're so proactive in your creative stuff.Ianbolton
- Yeah—you cram more illustrations / art into one day than I do in a year, phan (I'm jealous of your passion)
This one pokes at the heart a little bit too... <3PonyBoy - Ah cheers Ian and Ponyboy! I made a little collage of his paintings from when we were kids for Insta https://i.imgur.com/…PhanLo
- It's been sad to see him deteriorate over the last few years. His body is failing him, but he's still the same guy inside.PhanLo
- just went past this at the weekend, even nicer in real life!.
D,derm - Cheers Dermage!
Kindo the spot we could only have dreamed of as kids. Shame it's been middle-class-crusty... to death.PhanLo - 'crusty-graffed'PhanLo
- Go past here a few times a week. Great to see this spot become a legit graffiti spot. Will be a shame to see them go once the flats etc are all finished.microkorg
- There is some talk of painting a permanent mural on the opposite side of the canal on the street. Hopefully have it finished in SeptemberPhanLo

Wall from Yesterday with my mate Sole and a french dude called AntOne, decent geezer. I painted a NEAR piece.
I first went to that spot as a 14 year old kid and met a few writers a bit older than me, one was a guy who wrote Near. Good style and pretty funny guy, I met a him a few times after, but he more or less gave up painting by 96.
Last time I saw him I was out with a group of mates and randomly bumped into him in town which led to a comical breakdance battle in the street with much hilarity, as I said he was a funny guy.
Few years later he walked out to the Forth Road Bridge, 150 metres above water level and jumped off. Killing himself instantly. At that height the water would have the same consistency as concrete so I imagine the end wasn't pretty.
That'll be the last time I paint that spot.
