Quick takes – Making graffiti…

Just before my latest rowing assignment on Saturday I had a brief opportunity to take a look at some great street art being painted on the shutters of long-derelict units within Sneinton Market , Nottingham , currently undergoing regeneration. Prominent local graffiti artists were invited as part of the “Bloc Party” event hosted by Surface Gallery in Nottingham , which also included some fun music and a market along the way .

Didn’t spend a massive amount of time before I had to catch the taxi to Holme Pierrepont , but what I saw had a great vibe. I also got to catch up with Gav from Urban Shutterbug who’s done some interesting documentation of street artists across the UK – so looking forward to seeing what he makes of this!
