Glasgow Road Trip

We spent the last few days in Glasgow and got up to all sorts.....
Thought we'd drop yet another little peek at our Converse Project


If anyone is familiar with the local Council in Glasgow - then you'd know about the "Cancelled" logos they stick over every paste up and gig poster around the city.
Thought we'd do them a favour ------> "Councilled"

Another nice little piece done..

New paintings up in the yard...

Over the road from HQ we have slowly adopted a few large but neglected walls - They needed a little love, but after a tickle with a paint brush and a splash of colour - They are good to go!

Introducing Reeps One - For those peeps that somehow don't know?!?

Umbro x Monorex - The new fabric of England



Umbro recently challenged Monorex, and asked if we could paint the new pattern on large sides of buildings... But the cool part to the project was that these were not any old buildings, these were actually 4 historic youth football clubs that had produced past and present England players.

Each selected club was also given a generous donation by Umbro for getting involved and they received a huge boost in press and publicity from naturally being attached to the international kit launch.

Whiston FC (Former club of Steven Gerrard)



Wallsend Boys Club (Former club of Alan Shearer, Micheal Carrick, Peter Beardsley, Alan Thompson)


Senrab FC (Former club to John Terry, Ray Wilkins, Sol Campbell)



Clifton FC (Former club of Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant)



Whiston FC



Pattern designed by Peter Saville

Monorex x Umbro teaser

After completing a huge and successful campaign with Umbro during the build up to the world cup, we were asked again to create a load of other murals across the country. There's still a few more to be completed, once they're all finished, we'll show them off in all their glory. In the mean time here's a couple of shots from a recent wall


Suzuki x Monorex - Live show at Westfield London

Monorex were commissioned to paint live at Westfields last month, but this was no normal commission... As Suzuki made advertising history, being the first brand to film, timelapse, live edit and transmit the pictures live to all major railway stations across London..

Tokyo Paint Job - Video Edit

Feast Your eyes on this

Bar Tokyo, Southampton

Hicks and the rest of the 54 crew were on hand to paint this recent commission in Southampton. The clients wanted to go all out, which was exactly what we wanted.

The bar, named Tokyo had to have an authentic japanese look and feel. This was a huge job, scale wise and we didn't disappoint.

After the exterior was completed, Monorex were commissioned again to do the interior wall. Images coming soon!!

Red Bull Canvas Cooler

A few weeks ago Alfa, Teck, Riff & Mr Gauky headed down to the Redbull HQ for a day of fridge customisation! Along with 15 other top artists they spent the day painting or illustrating the specially primed chillers.

In the evening the workshop was transformed into a private, exclusive exhibition space packed out with Red Bull contacts, artists and a few other lucky people! The finished fridges were placed on plinths for bar owners to select a fridge of their own; so look out for these in the coolest, trendiest bars around London!
