Lost In The Music

2014-09-26 CNBEMicHeadphones+

Here’s the second of two Emic (Fb | web) pieces done for CNB14: a male figure is engrossed in the music coming from his headphones. The location is the shutter of the Young Savage vintage clothing store on (upper) North Street, part of Bigg Life Arts/Cafe Wah! As can be seen in the wide shot of the Centre, below, Emic also did a piece two shutters down (the Inkie piece in between was featured in Art Lab); his other CNB14 piece is a little further north on the same street.

Also by Emic for CNB14: This Means Nothing. For CNB13: CameraMan. For CNB12: Through The Fog. Previously: Deconstructions | Through The Mists Of Time

Tony Alva Soul Sailor

2014-09-26 CNBGarfieldPscyhon+

Surf- and skate-boarder Tony Alva (web) is the subject of this Psychonautes (web | Fb) stencil in Garfield Street. In addition to another Tony Alva, Psychonautes has also done portraits of two other skateboarding legends – Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen – in the Frenchman’s adopted hometown of Cork. Some idea of the method used can be gathered from this video of the production of a piece for a tapas restaurant in Dublin.

Let’s Melt

2014-09-24 CNBConzoElphClose+

Two Scottish street artists, Conzo Throb from Glasgow and Elph from Edinburgh, combined to produce the street art above. It features Elph’s distinctive psychedelic landscapes with Conzo’s Taps Aff, with Terror Cheb protruding. (A wide shot is below.) They also each did an individual piece for CNB14: see previously Fill Up On Colour (Conzo Throb) and The Imaginarium (Elph) as well as Elph’s work for the Menagerie bar in The Piano Has Been Smoking and Eyes Wide Shut.
