Bizarre Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

I bought a 1950s copy of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" from the local library because the illustations were kinda cool and ripe for re-interpreting. Here are a selection of ATCs I made using the black and white illustrations and then colouring with markers, spray paint and stencils and a bit of collage.

BAZAART

Last nite I went to the launch night for BAZAART, an exhibition of 90 street artists. The exhibition runs from 20th-22 March at The Yard, Greenheath Business Centre, Three Colts Lane, Bethnal Green. London E2 6JB. Admission is free and it is well worth attending for anyone with even a passing interest in street art. There is a fantastic selection on display, and for sale, by many of the most prolific and in demand names in urban and street art, including: Dan Kitchener, Fake, Dave the Chimp, Eyesaw, Hutch, Milo, Mo Coppaletta, Kev Munday, Pure Evil, Rugman, Sinna One and many more. I was lucky enough to get three pieces of "dropped" work by Sinna One from Brighton who is known for his Sinbot. Fake from Amsterdam did me a stencil piece of a Spraycan for the price of a chicken roll which was incredibly generous and I also found one of his "Warship" stencils which he dropped later in the evening. All in all a great night with some amazing free art, pictures of which are included here.

Knitted Terror

Found these boss knitted balaclavas on a website somewhere which included patterns so that you can rock the "knit one pearl one" Nacho Libre/ slightly camp terrorist look.
Anyway I got some knitted up, here's my son and I sporting a pair.
