If you're lucky enough to be Brighton bound this weekend, you need to be checking the TB & TC show about town.
Our good friend Snub is co-ordinating one big artist paintathon around Sunny Brighton on Saturday. They will be painting The Gym (2 walls 65ft by 15ft, and each end wall)with canvas work to be hung over the weekend. Including furniture rejuvenation, pillars and a big paste up at the entrance. Also painting at Tom's bar in the 'south laines' where reportedly the party is at. The back of The Globe pub & a Mechanics workshop with much much more happening over the weekend.

EINE'S COLOURFUL SHOW
Ben Eine gets mathematical for the Guinness book of records most colours in a print.
Down in a garage on Shacklewell St to a soundtrack of old skool beats history was being made, or more correctly displayed. A new screenprint world record - made up of a massive 12,000 screen 'pulls'. Impressive stuff.
The maths isn't easy. Each print, designed by artist Ben EINE, is made up of his signature ABC. In this case all 25 letters of the alphabet (wait isn't there one missing?) are laid out, then each print set has an ink layer added to it. There are 77 colours in total (plus a 78th a final gloss layer). With each layer taking up to 4 hours to dry the new world record took over 2 months from first layer to completion. It was obviously worth the wait.
Thursdays exhibition was bussssy. People queued to secure a print from a flame-painted people carrier a la grease lightning. Traditional artisan screenprinting continues to wow...

Street Style Interview with Jason from Little Art Book
From the interview:
While the debate about ‘street art’ versus ‘graffiti’ continues to rage on in modern society, some savvy street-art lovers with an entrepreneurial spirit have decided to promote certain artists rather than castigate. One such purveyor of fine street art is Jason Kinsella, co-director of Little Art Book (LAB). Soon to be launched in Australia, this funky site (www.littleartbook.com) is filled with boundary-smashing works and artists with mind-bending names. We talk to Jason about LAB…
