C215 pieces look awesome! Think I'll have to go see this tomorrow.

Ditto what JD just said, crazy couple of days, but what a fantastic night at the show. Walking into the space was stunning, an amazing collection of cracking work. Actually chatting with C215, Oliver, Hush and (just about) Copyright (as the never ending flow of booze was taking effect) made me feel quite humble. Thanks for a great evening and inviting us to the post show drinks Anthony, quality guy. Oh and thanks to TLP for the slammer ;D.

Just to touch on the art. Obviously having just bagged both the 'Blue Nina' and the 'Dreaming Nina', you can tell I love C215's work. But the pieces at the show were even better... and as JD said, he couldn't resist, quality purchase mate. The icing on the cake was actually meeting the man himself and hearing the full story behind the image, respect due. It was great meeting Oliver for the first time as well, and seeing his new pieces in the flesh made me realise what great craftsmanship and eye for composition and colour balance he has. Thanks for the trade secrets , my lips are well and truly . Chatting with Hush was inspiring, his passion for the work he is doing at the moment is so obvious, I have to say I can't wait to see what is coming up from the man (but I'm not sure my bank manager would agree!). TLP's live paint session really opened my eyes to the precision, speed and fun of his pieces. I was not totally convinced about the images when seen on my comp screen, but actaully seeing them being created was mesmeric... man that guy can draw a circle freehand soooo easily , fan'bloody'tastic.

Mmm rambling as usual... better try and get some r&r before the BRP Big Issue show tomorrow ;D

Here's a link to a few new pieces Christian did yesterday/last night around Newcastle, which myself and AP had great fun tracking down.

Oh, and Silky if you like to lift this part of the thread into the Street Art section that's cool, just thought it was relevant.

Where can you find the pics red bull were taking? they said they would be on their website straight away but i cant find any where on the website that would have the photos or photos of previous events

Thanks for that Jusdeep

I think the Pure Evil's are class, really very nice and I'm liking the Prefab work especially the flower petal one. The David Choong Lee stuff looks pretty cool, C215 doesn't do much for me in general, nor here, although they are nicely executed. Not keen at all on the Jef Aerosol faces, but I do like the megaphone one, can't say I'm overly keen on the Oliver Winconek work either and Teresa Duck seems like she stumbled in the wrong show! TLP, I don't know, one day I like, another day I don't so I can understand how they split people down the middle, they do the same with me, I keep thinking I'd like one but I know I'd hate it on the wall... I do like them though... I think!

Just seen they're all on the Opus Site now... no TLP prices on the originals though??? What were they like? Must have been good as they sold out... Wasn't expecting the megaphone Aerosol at that price though! Some pricey work at that show methinks, the Choong Lee especially. Were there any prints apart from TLP?

Seems a pretty varied show for me, some cool bits there too... still loving those Pure Evil works and Prefab has also grabbed me

The Pure Evil originals were huge and very nice framing on both pieces. Wasn't too keen on the Prefab and Jef Aerosol work, but a couple of the bits were nice (especially Prefabs Flower and exploding phone box originals). David Choong Lee's cigar boxes were very impressive, although very expensive and a lot smaller than I was expecting. I agree about the Teresa Duck work, but they were nicely executed and it was refreshing to see something different. I'm not a big fan of TLP, but to be honest after seeing them in the flesh and having a look at the amount of detail and skill that went into them I was pleasantly surprised. I think the most expensive was around 4.5K, although I could be wrong. Oliver's work was cool, great execution and probably look better in the flesh than in the photos. And of course C215, who you either love or hate but great subject matter and stories behind all the pieces. And I think there were a few prefab prints and of course TLP. Really enjoyable show and they sure know how to party in Newcastle.

I think you're right about Oliver's work, it is very hard to judge fully without seeing in the flesh, the skill is definitely there with him. Would have very much liked to see TLP live paint... Think it's a great addition to a show

I love the Pure Evil stuff, just a little too pricey for me. That is because I am cheap of course.

If someone gave me a TLP piece I would probably burn it. I really 100% honestly can't think of anything worse. Is it just me?

Thanks to all of you that came to this, was a really great show and one that I am really proud to be part of. OPUS pulled off a blinder, It was good to meet you all, after the event I stayed in Newcastle for 2 extra days and got a couple of new pieces up on the street. I will post photos as soon as I have had a bit of sleep!
