Mao
TMH, The mad Honkies, A play on words Maeo, If anybody can stitch the two MAOE-TMH I'll be grateful..
Inspired by The Mad Ethnics crew London. 1989-90Take one, fina64 characters when skinny lines where in void, to get skinny lines back then with carplan stock caps.. it was painted very fast so close to the wall you'd scrap your top half trigger finger off!!..lol.. Love the colours (lack of due to no colour schemes like today) and background which is the same Colour-scheme, Just Abstracted as you go fill styles with just 1 thin outline/shines to break it up..
old Fina (Twice-Jazeo) silva 1985, Subway Tunnels St.mellons. They made these subways with big rocks, we've had ideas of getting tons of outside filler to make these smooth and paint-able, over the years..lol.. these Subways have a lot of Cardiff graffiti history attached to them, (but rain, wear, then the buff cleared it all..), with some of the very first pieces in Cardiff in 84 by Pnut, Twice, Robbo of (Not the same King Robbo) AKA Top 3, Crew from early 1984..the small amount of photos that were took have been lost,
mini can of carplan i seen online,,
Prob one of the very first pieces in the UK, London when he toured with the clash in 1981 , Laylow, (Ladbroke grove-Wesbourne park)
This was a huge inspiration from back in the day, Artful dodger painted this, it was put on billboards to mags around the country, He did this, then a TV advert, Plus did work for TDK cassette tapes..
Subway ghosts..
An Old Finaoutline reach at the Subways St.mellons, this dates back to around 1986Old Pnut reach from 1984, St.Mellons
Top 3 Reach,.. Crew name during 1984 before they brought out Hard.Rock.Concept in 85/6. They did fall out for a few months before making up again and reforming first a crew called Side.walk.talk, (S.W.T), and a few other crew names, before settling in on HRC...This was good learning for us as they Battled each other with Illegal Burners done on walls over night, I'd say it was a draw, though Twice ( Fina 64-Fina outline-Jazeo) dropped a classic new york style piece, called No Crime Graffiti overnight straight on to a wall that surrounded a church in Trowbride. While Pnut ( Coma-Aroe) by then Killed it on a game spot on the side a flat, facing a busy main road in the middle of St Mellons called " KING" with a luminous yellow border on the piece..Just wish we had all the photos.. its not like today with cameras everywhere, with us etc..It was soon resolved after a few other pieces etc.
Old white faded..Jaze tag from 87-8
Me and Mao in a simple commission for CDT, all in Dupi-color..
Very Very Drunk street bombing from 91-2
More Twatted Bombin Very high this time, lets say..

Roxe Jam 2012
Via Flickr:
The Roxe Jam has taken place in Cardiff's Sevenoaks Park since 2007.
The Jam is to pay tribute and to remember Roxe, a Cardiff Graffiti Writer who sadly lost his life in 2007.
The event takes place every summer and attracts graffiti writers from around the UK and occasionally further afield.

Quite possibly, the best magazine cover of all time.
I have unashamedly lifted this image straight from Pure Evil's twitter stream.
I apologize but I just had to share this fantastic cover which I think is a piece of art in itself.
I see Mad is still going

An Old EFEX by Hoxe in Llanrumney, Mid 90's
Love the stylin on these letters..
Always thought this piece was ahead of time, That E is crazy, Love it!!!!!
Old Hip hop in StMellons this was done on July 4th, 1986, Was a super hot day, A program called "get fresh" came to town,, This was an old Live Saturday morning TV show in the mid 80s, They set up a live morning of painting in Town, Sorry cant find any recorded films of the TV show, I've looked through you tube etc..If I find some I'll post it up. Ofcause Buntlac was on tap you can say, and many tins went walkies, Like, all the way to this Hip Hop piece that was done after the TV show aired that day
New age 1991
An old Cam next to Mao and E-ze (eaze)
Throw down 1986
Mao-1988
And RIP MCA, Another person of huge talent, that's gone too young, The Beastie boys where huge in the 80s, I loved all there work, and albums such a sad loss.
I'd love to do a tribute to him some time..
for now a link from the guardian back in the 80s..
RIP Adam yauch...beastie-boys-classic-interview..

Flick of Mao roughing an outline at Llanrumney.HOF.
Too, Mao's left side, a blockbuster steel by foe, to Mao's right, spasm by hoxe..
An old flick from 1993 of a little known one man HOF basically with Mao roughing an outline on a piece..
I'm not sure if this place is still there, it was in Llanrumney behind some flats that Hoxe once lived at.
It was perfect because he could paint when he wanted, also the neighbours where cool.
What the story is, We recently had a large shipment of free paint from dupi-colour's paint factory in Stockport, They sent us a palette of damaged, discontinued colours, most of it worked fine, man there was so much paint we never had enough places to put it all.
Though Mr Hoxe was very willing to look after some of the paint lol, and made good use of it too in this spare waste ground behind his flat at the time.
The place was big He painted most of it too, He'd go and do something when he felt like it with coffee only a few yards away..lol..
I don't think we took photos of everything there, which was very typical of us..
Also before digi cameras, you'd forget, loose or not bother taking film photos, I wish we documented all our photos from Bombing buses, I mean they where battered by everyone active in this city, but looked great esp at night with different colour tags on the windows, panels, even floors when there was no room left...
Also, All the chromies as we nicked named them back then on the mainline tracks. a lot of flicks we did snap where took by BTP during the raids, called Operation Anderson, in this City, Bristol, Birmingham , Bath, Exeter, Plymouth, etc. I'd wish to get them pictures again, and the pictures BTP took themselves to gain evidence against us for the case.
I can imagine a retired BTP officer with pound signs in his eye's, waiting on a gold mine of U.K. photos from so many raids and cases, ready to publish in some book, like the NYC vandal squad, did with there book.or some smart arse lawyer able to gain access to the thousands upon 1000's. of flicks stored away in some vault or room?
Anyway Just thought I'd post this here also, at the same time as my new blog I've recently begun after noticing other writers making blogs of there own, Its nothing special or anything., just I been posting some drawings, ideas, some Graff, old and new, some links, its just a basic warts an all blog really I'll take it as it goes, Though I've no idea how to funk the template etc..
As I said its nothing special just at the first stages of this blog, I'll see how it develops in time.
