Conor Harrington Van, by Rsyok on Sept 16, 2008 16:21:24 GMT 1, This time last week I was heading south on the M6 saw a ropey old blue van with a decent flared tag on the back. Went past and saw the whole side of the van was a full on Conor painting. Highlight of a boring 450mile day !! Anyone know the story on this one?

Conor Harrington Van, by rrrich on Sept 16, 2008 16:38:52 GMT 1, there's a load of pics and info in the archive of his blog. last post is here: www.conorharrington.com/index.php?pageID=5&messageID=98
story from the blog is:
I first painted David's van 3 years ago. We parked it up in Ally Pally and I spent 2 days working on one side of the van. There was a Banksy piece on the other side. The evening after I finished, the van got stolen. The ironic thing is that it was stolen before the Banksy boom so its highly unlikely that it was stolen for that reason.
So I asked David if I could paint his new van. I spent 3 days working on it, trying to get my head round painting outdoors again and away from the safety and comfort of my beloved days. Although my head was wrecked from trying to render in aerosols, it was the most fun I've had in ages and I need the practice as I hope to pick up on my outdoor work this year. Hopefully the van wont get robbed again.
