Well damn damn and damn thrice more!!
What a frustrating night. Went out all excited to try go and spray my new stencil. Its my biggest project yet. It is made up of 5 different stencils so its a pretty ambitious project.
Overview had found a realy good spot afew nights before (under this massive bridge leading to a big shopping centre).
We headed up there once the centre had closed, clambered up the concrete banks and got good spots on opposite sides. We had the company of a fellow street artist in the one and only "1983".
So ive got the first stencil sprayed.Feeling pretty damn smug. I then switch spray cans and get the second taped to the wall when a god damn police car choses to roll by!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This is when we had to run. By the time me and 1983 had packed our stuff up overview was already ontop of the bridge waiting to help us get our stuff over. I have a rather awkward A2 folder to deal with ya see.
We get over and start running. We are heading down the road losing breath and i think what I think in all times of need:
"What would Cosby do?"
With this me and 1983 dart down a little road and stash our stuff in a bush! Hats, folders, bags, alsorts!
overview was little more than a blur in the distance by this time (nice moves buddy!).
Me and 1983 decide to adopt the character of crazy art students (a classic cover). When the police car rolls past for the second time 1983 is wearing his delightful thick rimmed glasses and taking pictures of me as I prance along the pavement.
The police drive by, turn round, and drive back again but where to confused to even stop us.
We managed to end the night with all utensils in tact and cheeky grins for outwitting the police but still no pleasure of a finished stencil!
Do feel like a criminal for the first time tho which feel kinda dirty in a good way. Feel like James Dean but with a girlier run.
Joy
