Wet paint productions Findac & Leeks from snowstorm-media on Vimeo.
For your viewing pleasure, this short is part of a longer film that was beamed onto the side of a building as part of Wet Paint Productions’ White Night centre piece ‘inCANdescent‘ in Brighton last October. As we have posted before, the production which celebrates the end of BST and embraces winter, was put on in conjunction with artrepublic, ink_d and our good friends at Snowstorm Media. It was Snowstorm who filmed the original footage at Wet Paint’s event The Beautiful and The Canned (this one from 2009), edited and then projected the film at the White Night festival. The film shows Fin DAC and Leeks going to work in Brighton. Thanks to Snowstorm for the use of the footage and we’ll post more shorts in coming weeks. Stay tuned for news on The Beautiful and The Canned!

Brighton graffiti and street art got some well deserved recognition in the way of a centre double page spread in The Argus, on Saturday 14th. Talking about an art revolution in the city they go on to extoll the benefits of graffiti bettering “unloved or monochrome areas”. The article features images of work by Aroe and Heavy Artillery, Req, Rarekind, Hutch and Banksy (we dispute that) to name a few. And although we don’t get a name check, Wet Paint Productions and the artists we work with are responsible for some of it too. That includes Snub 23 and Sinna who are both quoted in the article. To view it big hit HERE.

Last night saw one of Brighton’s finest Mishfit pimping T-shirts as part of the in-bar Brugal Brighton launch in pubs across the city centre. The rules are simple: buy a Brugal rum and you get a free tee for the artists to customize. The punters were definitely loving their shirts just as much as the rum. Tonight is the turn of Foundry and Snub 23 (recently back from his Secret Wars win at Upfest – so he has his eye in!). We’ll be at the Mash Tun from 8.30pm, the White Rabbit from 9.30pm and Riki Tik from 11.30pm. If you’re in Brighton and want some exclusive T-Shirts then make sure you’re at one of these venue tonight!

During The Beautiful and The Canned weekend, we will be taking over part of My Hotel in the centre of Brighton and converting it into a pop-up gallery space to exclusively sell the artists’ work. Not every artist we’re showcasing are active on the street (or will be painting live) but all are influenced by them in some way and we’ll bring you news of them and their work over the next month. One of these is JENKINS. If you haven’t come across him yet then make a mental note to as he is a name to look out for. JENKINS works using paint and pencils through to screen print and collage, layering colour, mark making and printing techniques to create bespoke, limited edition artworks. His life-long obsession to draw, be it on the back of envelopes or scraps of paper, has grown over the years into a mass of little black books filled with sketches, the ‘pictures from my pocket’ that capture his ideas and future works. JENKINS is involved in a wide variety of commissions for clients worldwide and is a member of the international WAFA (We Are F**king Awesome) Collective. This piece is entitled All the Madmen and is part of his Split in Two series. Oh, and he’s a bloody nice bloke too!
