Hi guys, I really apologise for my absence! Personal things, and all that shizzle. I’d like to really thank human, for continuing to post in my absence,  and to all the loyal members who still visited regularly, despite the lack of blog posts. I have however, been proactive with searching for some additional writers, so at least this should hopefully make sure the site is constantly updated, as I know I’m not the best with that! ;p Anyway, down to the main point of the article!

Brighton street blitz is an event running from the 1st to the 31st of May. The motivation behind this is that Brighton has become filled with art becoming overly commercialised, and how the colour and character is being sucked out of Brighton. They propose that Brighton be turned into an open air art gallery. For four weeks, all people living in or near Brighton, are invited to, in the words of the creators:

“Whether you make murals, stencils, stickers, posters, sculptures, street projections, sign modification/removal/additions, billboard subverting/defacing/destruction etc; Whether creative or destructive; whether to convey a message, brighten up a dull spot, rewire some corporate brainwashing  tactics; whether to leave your mark, remove a stain, express yourself or simply to show your disgust – it’s all valid and all adds to The Blitz!”

I know it’s a tiny bit late, but I still think it’s early enough to be posted.

I can’t wait to see the work produced by this, it should hopefully be good!
