Just finished an amazing project run over 4 days with the children from years 3,4,5 and 6 at Normanby-By-Spital Primary School near Market Rasen. All the children were involved in designing the artwork, preparing the wall and painting the mural along the theme of the Diamond Jubilee. The wall incorporates the words Diamond Jubilee in an abstract diamond, stained glass design, along with a cartoon queen, fireworks, Union Jacks and The Red Arrows. Everyone at the school is very happy and the children thought the experience was ‘amazing’. A whole host of images documenting the wall on our Facebook page and a video in production…
A very cool short video of a the recent graffiti taster day at Boston college produced by Leon Vann, one of the students.
You can see more of Leon’s photography on his Flickr page…
Spent a lovely first day at Whites Wood Lane Primary School in Gainsborough at the end of last week, the children have now planned what the courtyard mural is going to look like and are going to prepare the area ready for 4 days at the end of March when the whole school will be involved with painting it.
Here is a little drawing and message from one of the children, it reads “Thank you James for coming in for us, here is a picture for you”…
An interior commission from just before Christmas, 2 walls of a home gym, hopefully going back soon to do the main back wall. Hope it’s giving Sarah some inspiration when she’s working out…
A few days in sunny March and we were back to paint all sides of the big wall in the school field with every child at Ingoldmells Primary school, all the artwork was based on the children’s drawings and even the staff and some local sixth formers. Thanks to all involved, especially Rich from East Lindsey DC. A mass of other photos in our Facebook page album…
“The children at our school absolutely loved working with James over a 3 day period. Every child in our school from age 4 to 11 had the opportunity to work on the graffiti wall and came back into school buzzing with excitement. Our Teaching Staff really enjoyed getting their hands on the spray cans too! I cannot praise James highly enough – his passion and enthusiasm were infectious and we are looking forward to working with him again on another project in the future……….

Catching up on all the projects we’ve been involved with before and during Easter now, this was a day’s taster session held at Boston college for their art students to get them used to aerosols as a medium for their art and future projects. Awesome day and some great artwork out of it too, love to see people use the medium in their own way. A whole heap of images in our Facebook album…
A few months ago we were commissioned to design 6 logo’s to represent some of the sessions that are run by Positive Futures for young people in Lincolnshire, these are the 6 final designs that are now being used in their publicity and marketing material…
Relaxed and chilled graffiti afternoon for Will’s 11th Birthday Party, this is what his Mum had to say…
“Had a fabulous graffiti party for my son’s 11th birthday. He was thrilled with James and his amazing artistic abilities. All the children took home their artwork and were very impressed with the unique party idea. James also created a fantastic graffii piece especially for the birthday boy, which Will loved and has now got pride of place above his bed!”…
Had an awesome day today painting a Skoda with passers by at the Grantham Festival, thanks to all the children and young people who helped out, SKDC for going with an idea a bit different and to Tommy and Jason for sorting us out with the car, loads of photos in our Facebook album…
Had the pleasure of running a graffiti birthday party for 11 year old Henry and all his friends, great afternoon and lot’s of cool artwork produced, most of all a very happy Henry!…
“I have to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for today’s graffiti party. We all had so much fun. The adults loved watching, and I’ve never seen a group of 11 year olds so happily engrossed for so long. Henry said to me tonight “You’re the best mum in the world – I’m going to remember today for the rest of my life!”…awww!
I’ve already had parents phoning to say how much their child enjoyed it and 2 want to book parties themselves! You have a great way with children that kept them enthralled throughout….and how much better than a party bag is their own graffiti artwork to take home?!!”
