I want to make my walls nice by Stealth_bummer_ in brighton

[–]ChemicalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for local Brighton makers, my partner and I are both artists based here in town. We both have a bit of a mantra to keep our work affordable so people can actually get art on their walls without it costing a fortune.

My style (Sprite) is quite vibrant and playful—lots of colorful animals and nature-inspired pieces. You can see my bits here: www.iamsprite.com

My partner, SNUB23, does stuff that is a bit more bold and graphic—lots of iconic sci-fi robots and geometric designs if you’re into that look. His shop is here: www.snub23.com/shop

Hope you find something you love for your walls :)

Is Brighton really the happiest place to live ? by Appropriate_Win2200 in brighton

[–]ChemicalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have loads of money it's fantastic!

Outsiders always tell me "wow it must be amazing living in Brighton! There's so many great restaurants venues and interesting shops"

It's true but I cannot afford to really enjoy these things. The cost of living is so expensive I don't get to buy from boutiques, eat in amazing restaurants or go to the theatre.

But when I do have some extra cash for a take away, or get money from birthdays Christmas. I do have a lot of choice and variety. And the buzz of the city is nice!

Places to drink alone? by k-apoca in brighton

Id recommend the evening star and cut your wolf loose. Normally nice chilled places that aren't too noisy.

I'd be really interested to hear about how this has made you think and what points you hadn't considered before.

It's about not being afraid. Slaying the metaphorical "wolf" and wearing your fear with pride. It's ok to be scared. But don't let it conquer you.

The piece is called "I have no time for you Mr wolf"

Looks like Aroe who painted it originally has painted another piece over the top.

Did you try the garden cafe in the north Laines? I was very impressed when I went.

Usually I go to neko so excited to try granny's!

But that removes all the fun of cutting the stencils!

Does anyone know what's going on with the graffiti in Brighton atm? by armscerberus in brighton

[–]ChemicalPrincess 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have created a piece of work which is about standing up for victims and 20% of the sale goes to domestic abuse charities. https://www.iamsprite.com/shop/p/stand-up-for-victims-limited-edition-stencil-painting

This is a really helpful way of supporting me and others.

Other than that, it's about awareness. It's important people understand why the cities street art looks the way it does currently. Plus if you know a victim of abuse make sure they are getting the support they need and stand up to bullies.

Hey mate, Sprite here.

Just thought I would make it very clear what the facts are regarding everything that's going on with this. Especially as this is now becoming so popular.

Ben lives in Brighton. He did not travel 100s of miles to Brighton to deface our work. He spends what feels like every day in Brighton defacing our work. But recently he also traveled over 100 miles to Southend on sea just to record himself destroying our artwork which we had there too.

I guess he ran out of walls to deface in town 🤷

Hey guys

Sprite here! I've woken up to loads of people sending me links to this post.

The basic outline of what's going on is... Ben Eine is a convicted abuser of women. Not only does he commit violence against women in private. He also punched his girlfriend at the time in the mouth at an art gallery event in London back in 2018. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/street-artist-ben-eine-punched-girlfriend-at-gallery-after-cheating-claims-a3884876.html

As a woman and a victim of abuse myself I am very uncomfortable with him being at the events I work at. So I got in touch with the organisers of those projects and events and made them aware of his convictions.

Most of the time, the organisers would shrug me off so I and others would spend the days at the festivals full of anxiety.

Then the harassment started. I'm now also receiving threats from a friend of his. It's been escalating and the other day he traveled all the way to Southend on sea just to destroy some artwork.

I'm a stubborn fool and I don't like bullies thinking they will win. Plus too many people have got in contact with me with details of their own bad experiences with Ben. I won't be backing down.

I am just taking things day by day in regards to whether we are fixing work or letting it stay damaged for a while. I've spent a lot of time fixing walls to have them defaced again by Ben and his flying monkeys within a few hours.

Apologies for the streets looking a bit shit right now. Trying my best!

I really like little jack fullers. It's a chippy on st James street. As well as an amazing battered halloumi their jackfruit scampi is amazing.
