Gas Child
So this brings us almost up to date (sorry, but work has really got in the way). Bit of a daytrip this one, wandering the streets with Jerm IX, finding spots. and taking shots.
One of the few times where we've not ended up getting chased by cops too! (though admittedly one did go up in a gallery)
Cheers, Vegas.

Rain rain go away...
Apparently this worked, it's 30 degrees an climbing here!
You're all welcome, Vegas.

The final V-TARP?
Well, it looks like it, but these ran for ages. An amazing end to a fantastic project.

Vegas - Gas Child
This project has been a long time in the making, and was put partly on hold for V-TARP but is now hitting the streets at last.
The Gaschild image was inspired originally by an old photo of a Disney branded child's gas mask from WW2. It was a few days later when I moved past the image itself to wonder if this was just a glimpse of what's to come, 65 years ahead of it's time.
As we continue to pollute our environment, at a barely abated rate despite our knowledge of what we are doing, what will we leave for our children? Will the Gaschild return?

Banksy wasn't here...
So with a crew of five we still managed to get busted by two cops, catching us with everything in our bags, Jerm's paste open next to the piece and my stencil drying against the fence... an then they decided to let us walk away.
Nerve wracking, crazy, very confusing, and totally worth it. Hope you like the shots, and appreciate the piece.
Cheers, Vegas.

Lots of interviews this week, and lots of preparation (I may be working on too much), felt like I should get something out there before the weekend.
Lots coming next week, stay tuned!

i'm not insane i just can't find a vein...
A quick comment on the storage and use of our personal data, but maybe it'll get some people thinking about how free they are with it.
An before you ask, no, it's not my thumbprint!

Gas Child - W Hastings
This piece is at the start of the DTES, and while a gas mask might be overkill, it's a pretty toxic environment for a child.
Thanks to jerm IX for both the help putting it up, and the photo.
Finally, I got down to cutting this last night. Can you tell what it is yet?
