Beyond the Streets
Yesterday I was at the book signing for the Beyond the Streets exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, just off the King’s Road in Chelsea. I was sitting next to Normski and GG the Illustrator (Gianna Fiore). GG did a quick cartoon of the three of us. The queue to get books signed was crazy. At its height, people were queueing for nearly three hours.
The exhibition is fantastic, showing the history of more than 60 years of graffiti and street art reflecting a background in politics, various music scenes, fashion, film and art.
Here’s some examples from the show (click to see larger).
