Affleck’s Day
Yesterday on the top floor of Affleck’s. More pictures to come when I charge my camera batteries and get the images off it.

Let us love, and therefore not grow old and jaded
Wisdom is scrawled on the walls.
Who’s this?
I don’t recognise them. There’s a bunch of these started appearing around the place and I can’t recognise most of them. I feel bad.

The Illuminati are watching you
In this case, whilst waiting for a bus.
Cine City time lapse
I haven’t forgotten about it, it’s just that there’s no visible progress.
Future Squats of Manchester
Pasted on the corner of the abandoned Cine City in Withington. The text, as best as I can make out, reads-
“The rapid urban regeneration of Manchester has resulted in dozens of ne ‘luxury’ apartment buildings. These new homes for the rich are part of a planned attack on local working class and poor residents. Gentrification projects like these lead to rising rents and the homogenisation of our communities. Local residents and families will gradually be forced out of their homes as young, single profesionals are welcomed.
Often, these expensive flats are built next to some of the most economically deprived areas in the city. Planners, architects and eventually residents turn a blind eye to the conditions of many of the city’s sitting tenants, the like[s of which?] these homes were never designed for. Worthwhile regeneration projects aim[ed at improving?] standards in the very worst areas of Manchester lose out to grand displa[ys desig?]ned to attract the interests of more [?] investors. Newly gentrified are[as?……] incoming residents by the state [install?]ing strict surveillance, greater po[lice presence and harsh?] penaties.”
Stencil Revolution
I’m sketching a bunch of ideas for stencil graffiti, to become transfers for modern image railway modellers who want to add a little grit. So I thought I’d see what resources there are for stencillers online. (Update The stencil graffiti transfers can now be ordered from Spinneyworld.)
Stencil Revolution is an Australian collective. The tutorials and gallery sections are down at the moment because they were having security issues, but there are a few good examples still dotted around.
Banksy, of course.
Baby hoodie
Don’t call it sweet, alright.
Free canvas, sorry
An apologetic graffiti artist, who’d have thought.
West Banksy
Banksy’s been at it again in Bethlehem, graffitiing the security wall.
Apple
There are other fruit around town, but this is the first I’ve photographed.
