See No Evil: Street Art Goes Main Street

From See No Evil Project – Nelson Street Bristol


From YouTube:

This is See No Evil, the UK’s largest street art project.

72 artists including some of the biggest names in graffiti in the world descended on Nelson Street in Bristol, painting masterpieces through the night to create a permanent cultural legacy for the city.

Dozens of buildings, a bridge, 6 mega cranes, 326 metres of street, 26 scaffold towers, 325 litres of emulsion, 13,400 cans of paint and thousands of happy visitors

See it through the artist’s eyes and get a sneaky peek at some amazing pieces of art.

Organised by Inkie, Team Love and Weapon of Choice with the support of Bristol City Council and Nelson Street’s building owners, we celebrated the project with an NYC style block party and three ‘Hear No Evil’ events in the incredible disused Westgate building.

Recorded over a week and edited in just 8 hours, special thanks go to Hurricane Media for this video.

Take a look and then come on down and see it for real…

Banksy’s Antics Roadshow Ads

Updated and corrected August 19, 2011:


From John Lundberg of circlemakers.org:


Banksy also played around during The Antics Roadshow ad breaks. Here’s a compilation of his handy-work.

Here too is a recent piece he put up outside Bristol on the M32, which is featured in one of the ad breaks. In our earlier post, we suggested it might be part of the ‘See No Evil’ street art project that starts on August 20, 2011 in Bristol. But, apparently it’s not… Funny, none-the-less.
