Broken Crow - Cheetah in the Garden, by plasticfork on Jun 23, 2008 22:01:51 GMT 1, Dunno if this has been posted already (sorry if it has) but it's a lovely story and a cool pic
www.woostercollective.com/2008/06/the_cheetah_in_the_garden.html
"A few weeks ago I went to the Cans Festival in London, I took a few pictures and put them on Flickr, including some work by Minneapolis graff artist, Broken Crow.
A day or so later, Broken Crow added some of my photos to his Flickr favorites, so I dropped him a Flickrmail, telling him how much I enjoyed the show and jokingly suggested that if he's ever in London again and needs a wall to paint, then he's welcome to paint my house.
Broken Crow asked me to send him a photo of my wall, said it was perfect and that he had a spare day between visiting relatives in London and painting some commissions in Paris. Three weeks later he's here, in my garden, with his fiancee, painting a 12x15ft mural of a cheetah.
We had a great day - the weather was perfect and I can't quite believe it happened. Proof that not all friendships made over the internet end in vampire worship and ritual suicide!
Huge thanks to Broken Crow and his fiancee - the nicest strangers I've ever met. The wall was painted on June 14, 2008."

BTW, Mr Neate, when you return from SP I have a nursery wall that is just waiting for your skilled hand to grace with a wonderful array of colours and shapes. I'll even throw in a cuppa of Yorkshire Tea

Broken Crow - Cheetah in the Garden, by Jef Aerosol on Jun 24, 2008 10:52:03 GMT 1, this is lovely !
Actually, I think many of us just love it when someone has a wall, a house, a gate etc to paint... Sometimes, people don't realize how much we are interested in such offers or don't even think of having some painting on their property.
this is lovely !

Jef if I get a wall constructed specifically in my garden will you come and paint it? I know you love your trips to Ireland.... ;D ;D

Broken Crow - Cheetah in the Garden, by Jef Aerosol on Jun 25, 2008 15:46:36 GMT 1, I'm just back from a lawyers group office (a beautiful old house in Lille) where Galerie Raison d'Art is organizing a show of my works. I painted some pieces on the walls there. I was happy to place my lifesize Nureyev in such a magnificent setting ! Going back there later this evening for bubbles, peanuts, handshakings, booksigning and blah blah blah !
