Spray paint, acrylic and hand-cut stencils on Belle Art poly-cotton stretched canvas. Sam Shrug’s Raver Babe takes a trip down a long dark tunnel.

I’m very, VERY excited to have created an original piece on an old pound note for ā€˜Notes for Change - an exhibition and ebay auction that’s raising money for Saint Mungos, a charity who are out there on the streets ending homelessness and rebuilding lives and doing the good stuff. ā€˜Old Money, New Problems’ is part of a collection of 20+ works by the top street artists in game, all of which are up for auction via eBay right now. Seriously, you should see this lineup! Go to my profile and do the thing. AND you can catch the exhibition irl, running until the 30th April at Edit Gallery in Covent Garden, London. #stencilart #artauction #affordableart #stencilartist #banknoteart

Hello everyone! I’ve been on paternity leave from the art world for the past five months (my greatest collaboration ever, love you Rua) but I’m popping my head back in to say: That I’m very, VERY excited to have created an original piece on an old pound note for ā€˜Notes for Change - an exhibition and ebay auction that’s raising money for Saint Mungos, a charity who are out there on the streets ending homelessness and rebuilding lives and doing the good stuff. ā€˜Old Money, New Problems’ is part of a collection of 20+ works by the top street artists in game, all of which will go up for auction via eBay on Monday 20th April. Seriously, you should see this lineup! AND you can catch the exhibition irl, running until the 30th April at Edit Gallery in Covent Garden, London. *burps baby* *baby laugh sounds* That’s all from me, peace! #stencilart #artauction #affordableart #stencilartist #newdad

New work from my new era: ā€˜That's the Way Love Is, But Forever’. Mixed media flyposter assemblage with printed rave flyers and 80s music record cover art logos and icons. In my last Reel I spoke about how I wanted to get back to doing what I love, and that’s tearing posters off the street and taking them to the studio. Music has always been core to my work - in a past life I was a live electronic act and I gave it all up when I fell in love with art - and this work feels like remixing and re-editing, and I’m in love with the process. Solvite brought together with gloss varnish, very tasty look imo. Dimensions: 40cm x 53cm Clairefontaine paper base (can be mounted in a frame or hung with pins, your choice) Head to @vibes.farm if you’re interested 😊 #contemporyart #assemblage #assemblageart #collagecollective #housemusic #decollage #urbancontemporaryart #charlieandersonart #vihls #collage
