Happy Birthday #IllCommunication! 25 today and still an absolute must in my record collection. Thanks #BeastieBoys
Today I returned to #Leicester to visit the finished artworks from last weekend’s #BringthePaint Festival. I’ll be adding some of my favourite #StreetArt to Instagram over the next few days.

Lauderdale Tower, fresh from the printers!
Now available from my Etsy: etsy.com/uk/shop/UrbanShutte…. Exploring the concrete structure of the #Barbican estate, I've just added this new #Brutalist image to my online shop. #London #Architecture
Mixing together two of my favourite things: #StreetArt & #Architecture. Here’s a huge artwork in progress by artist Smug for #BringthePaint festival in #Leicester.
I had a fabulous time yesterday & hope to revisit the finished murals later this week.

Fascinating interview with photographer @derekridgers charting his career progression and the art of being spontaneous. #SubCulture #Portrait #Photography
From documenting youth subcultures to profiling superstars, @derekridgers has always been the best kind of witness: huckmag.com/?p=417470
I'm thrilled that 'Camouflage' is currently on display at @MONTANAENGLAND as part of the inaugural @offcentrefest #photography festival in Nottingham
From my project 'Perception' which explores #Graffiti & #StreetArt culture, I can't think of a more fitting location.
Great examples of urban #restoration, breathing new energy & purpose into these beautiful buildings. Well done to all involved. #Architecture #Heritage
To mark 20 years of the Heritage at Risk Register, we explore five (of 1,288!) sites from the original 1998 register that have been reinvigorated for a new generation

Don’t get me wrong, I love the work of #Banksy & applaud the saving of this #art. However many other artists have works that deserve the same call for permanence from the public & council authorities.
Street Art is not just Banksy. Banksy is the catalyst!
