Letter from Jasmine

We got an interesting email this week that got me thinking:

I am emailing you on behalf of myself and my class 9x1 Geography. You see, i am studying Graffiti as my project. I am 13-years-old and I go to school at 'Mildenhall College of Technology'. Also I am in year 9.

Muay Thai Commission

Commission for the staircase entrance of Cambridge Muay Thai on Harvest Way.

Painted with three layers of stencils, black, white and bronze. The design was supplied by the gym and then interpreted to fit the setting by the artist. The work took 2 hours to paint on location.

Occupation Road Winter Project

This wall space was donated by the CHS Group a local housing association.

Artists: Jadryk Brown (Far-Right)

As well as our art the association wanted to put there own signage on the builders site hoardings. So did Hill the builders. Its not a big site so that meant we didn't have a lot of room to work with. Just 4, 4ft x 8ft boards.



Artists: Irony

Not that that bothered us. After we helped the builders shift the boards to our studio we got to relax in the warm with some good tunes on the stereo wile we painted. A luxury in late December. When we finished the boards were fixed on top of the existing hoardings. A nice little donation to end the year.

The Wall Donation project works by allowing land owners to simply and safely donate exterior wall spaces in the city to artists so they can show of there skill in the public arena. The aim of the project is to generate a legal, public platform for urban artists to express themselves and in doing so show how graffiti and street art can be used to improve public areas and help to build community’s.

Donation is easy.  Download the PDF information pack on the project here.

If you want to see the art for yourself head down to Occupation Road, Cambridge, just off Newmarket Road. You can also see where to find other street art in Cambridge on the Wall Donation Map

If you know of an area that needs brightening up and you think Blight Society can help, or if you're a building owner who would be interested in letting creative people loose on some of your public wall space please get in touch. Our email is info@BlightSociety.co.uk

Halloween 2011

In a freezing cold October afternoon we decide to give our Bike Smut graffiti production from a few weeks back a Halloween make-over.

We kept as much of the original work as we could just giving it a new spooky vibe but artist Boe’s clockwork animals are all new and they really make this wall.

Check out our Flickr for more photos of the days painting.
