I first went to Nottingham in 1992 to photograph pieces by POPZ100 down Browns Subway. For me, the city has always raised the bar in terms of Hip-Hop and Graffiti. It was wicked being back there today and vibing off the energy of current artists, writers and emcees who continue to maintain a high standard and push things forward. Big up yourselves!
Thank you to Montana Shop Nottingham + Surface Gallery for the hook up. Almost finished this piece and had to get a shot of Juga-Naut and MizzRed, who happened to pass by. East Midlands represent!
The Stabby Women are making a return for my forthcoming show at C.A.V.E Gallery, Venice Beach.

This week we’ve been busy adding the entire MONGRELS back catalogue to bandcamp.
Next week we’ll update our MySpace no doubt.
