The Best Till Last

2011-12-27T09:51:00.000-08:00

The last post of the year is one of our favourite custom bedroom walls that we have ever done!

We were approached by a lovely couple wanting us paint a feature wall in their new converted loft bedroom.
The lovely couple knew exactly what they wanted, "A section of their red and white floral bedspread painted on a larger scale but not a repeated pattern".

This one took a lot of effort but in our opinion the finished room looks fab!

A Nightmare Before Christmas

2011-12-27T03:35:00.000-08:00

We popped up the Kasbah for the last time this year to do a spot of decor. Went up and bashed out two balcony banners for their Christmas Eve special "A Nightmare Before Christmas".

Merry Kasbah

2011-12-23T11:53:00.000-08:00

No Pain No Gain

2011-12-23T10:42:00.000-08:00

The Kasbah crew have started booking some headline acts for their mid-week raves "No Pain No Gain" They've had two acts pass through so far, Rusko and then Sub Focus. Both of which the phone rang "Hey Bring Colour, can you come down the club please?"

Next up is Benga & Youngman!!!!

Didn't manage to get a photo when we popped down for Sub Focus so robbed this off Digital-Flow's Flickr.

Spooky UV times

2011-11-28T04:55:00.000-08:00

We were back down the Kasbah with some UV paint at Halloween. This time with shorter notice and more stuff to paint, two balcony's and both ends of the room.

#CovArt

2011-11-07T02:54:00.000-08:00

With our great passion for Coventry and of Art, we love it when we stumble across homegrown talent. Gifted people doing things!

So we thought we'd do a little blog entry linking some #CovArt that we enjoy!

(click the images to follow the links)

First up is the facebook page for undoubtedly the most prolific writer in Coventry. Lots of photos of full colour's and dubs. As far as we're concerned ABLE takes the title 'King of Cov'. Well worth a peek!

Next up is the Mean Mr Myer's Flickr. This guy oozes style and has been an inspiration to all at the Bring Colour camp from early. Definitely check his stuff out!

As 3 is the magic number we'll end with L'art du Odour a tumblr blog documenting the work of artist Body Odour. A mixture of Street Art and Graffiti, some funky bits, have a look!

Rock The Kasbah! Neon Style.

2011-11-06T13:52:00.000-08:00

Whether you call it The Tic Toc, The Colly or The Kasbah the place has been partied in for YEARS!
We spent most of our teenage years in there and still pop in now and again if its a special occasion.

So it was a pleasant surprise when out of the blue the phone rings and its the manager of the Kasbah, Rax, wanting some backdrops,
asking "if its something we could do?"
Our response as always "Yes! Of course we can!"

He wanted some backdrops painted for a UV Full Moon Party they were having,
so we went down and got busy with some fluoro paint!

Didn't manage to get any photos of them up and finished myself, but managed to find one on Facebook, Thanks Edward Taylor!

Cat Gained, Mac Lost

2011-11-04T07:03:00.000-07:00

Well then, meet the newest member of the Bring Colour family, 'Tigga'.

Tigga has been making work extremely difficult as the little monster thinks that anything that moves is his to play with, Paint, Brushes, Pens, Pencils, Scalpels, Paper and worst of all, Hands.
When hands move he pounces, clawing for attention & biting for fuss.

Computer work had become near impossible with Tigga around. Accusations have been flung in the past about 'affairs with apple' but nothing compared to how jealous Tigga had become of the MacBook Pro. Tigga decided enough was enough and being shut out of the room so the lappy could come out to play was unfair and something had to be done.

The scene was set, Tigga was chilling on the sofa, the lappy was switched on and open and a fresh cup of tea was just put down when........"boom" Tigga saw his chance and pounced, knocking the tea all over the lappy and swiftly fleeing to avoid the aftermath.

We switched the lappy off, took battery out and with fingers crossed left it upside down to dry out. After giving the lappy to the Apple Dr to fix, we were given the worst news back, the lappy was dead. Sad Times.

Although we're down a lappy and some recent work has gone, all was not lost! We had learnt from our past mistakes with "Mac Death" and had most things backed up on an external hd.

So that is why our internet presence has been quiet recently. We've degraded and are using an ibook g4, which just isn't a MBP but at least its not a PC! Now its time to catch up!

Misleading Appearances

2011-08-12T10:58:00.000-07:00

Whilst trawling through files on the hard drive looking for an image we ended up stumbling across some photos of a empty shop project we did in 2007 and decided to blog it.

Before we were called Bring Colour we were going under the name Bring'in Colour and in the summer of 07 we worked in partnership with Coventry Arts collective Dialectic Arts and did a project called "Misleading Appearances" in an empty shop down Spon End Arches.

The driving force behind Dialectic Arts, Artist Kyla Craig had worked her magic and convinced the owners of the building to let us use it as art studios whilst transforming the venue into a space that we could use to have an exhibition.

The building had previously been a furniture shop but was now being used to store tyres, so it was filthy! We got the keys to the place, moved in and made a start.

We worked 24/7, shifted all the tyres, tore down the ceiling, ripped out decaying walls, replaced the loo.......

.........Cleaned the place from top to bottom, Sorted the Roof, Painted everywhere,..........

.......had new lighting and a new circuit board fitted. The place was ready to be used!!!
Artists moved into the space and started to get creative.

The place was being used as a studio space and creative hub. What we had intended! Then the plans got under way to organise the exhibition.

The owners of the building were paying increased attention to what we were up to as we had clearly highlighted the hidden potential of there building.

After transforming the building, setting the date for the exhibition and speaking to the owners about when the project will end and they can have their building back and sorting a date for that, we closed up shop and went to Bristol for a break.

On returning from Bristol the owners of the building had changed the locks, we tried speaking to the owners to see what was going on, but all we got was his employee saying he wanted his building back.

Annoyed, Disappointed, Angry, Frustrated and Upset are a few words that spring to mind!

We managed to get them to open it up for a short while so we could get our belongings back but that is how the project ended!

Still gutted about how messy everything ended, but you learn from your mistakes and there are plenty more empty shops out there! So keep your eyes peeled because we might pop up in your local empty shop!

Back to School Part2

2011-08-12T08:45:00.001-07:00

Bring Colour artist, John Mckeown was asked to return to his old school, Cardinal Newman for the second year to deliver a workshop as part of their community arts festival.

Last year he delivered at graffiti art workshop but this year did a street art workshop on the theme of music as the school wanted to display the work in the music block when finished.

We haven't yet managed to get photos of the work finished and mounted in the school, but here is a few of what we got up to.

HEARTS

2011-08-12T05:37:00.000-07:00

We are quite excited about this one at the Bring Colour camp! Coventry's No.1 collective Hearts Gang have started bloging.

Vendetta Bass

2011-07-18T05:13:00.000-07:00

We were contacted by a new Coventry based record label "Vendetta Bass" to produce some artwork for them. They wanted a logo bashed up, Some artwork for Vendetta Bass's first release "Digital Era - A. English Haters AA. The Sound" and some promo artwork for the Label. So we got busy!

Henley Green

2011-07-04T12:38:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple of pics from Henley Green Community Centre, Coventry. We got invited up to facilitate a series of art sessions with the outcome being the young people producing artwork to decorate their newly acquired youth room.

The young people worked really well, were not the best at turning up on time & things went a little bit wrong at coffee time & when cupboards were unlocked, but they still managed to produce some decent artwork.

We did more of a street art based workshop and had the young people doing some photography, computer based work, Stencil Making and some actual decorating!

MJ

2011-07-04T04:35:00.000-07:00

We were asked to paint a picture of Michael Jackson on a bedroom wall but without him being blatantly recognisable. So we went and got creative!

Naming Times

2011-05-04T06:15:00.001-07:00

We contacted and asked to design a certificate for a baby girls naming ceremony as they couldn't find anything they liked on the market and are not big fans of pink. We managed to make them happy with this pinky/purple production though! So we bashed out 10 personalised copies for them.

Back when........

2010-03-24T03:06:00.000-07:00

Writers in Coventry didnt have legal spots like the blue boards in Earlsdon. ASP, JECT, MARSA, TEK, CEPT, KRUGA, XORB, REL, ALERT, to name a few that have left there mark. Growing up in Coventry, seeing the remains of these and all of the other writers had such an influence on the whole Bring Colour camp.

The picture above is of a painting by ASP 178, a writer who clearly did his fair share and was king'in Coventry in the late 80's and is still up a fair bit now.
It seems that the younger generations of writers dont know, dont care or have been missinformed about the history of the Coventry graffiti art scene.

Knowing your History is important for numerous reasons.

We learn from our mistakes.

We share a common experience that binds the scene together.

We learn where the scene has come from.

The graffiti scene can build upon past accomplishments, and it also helps us to speculate the future.

Our passion for Graffiti/Street Art and inparticular Covenrty graffiti/street art has lead us to start to produce Blitz Coventry. Blitz is documenting the past and present bombing (graffiti writing) of Coventry. If you have any images that you would like to be included, send them to: blitz@bringcolour.com

"Know your history!!!"

GYGL

2010-03-15T03:06:00.000-07:00

Coventry GYGL contacted us because they wanted to create a piece of art for LGBT month, the group had already written a song/poem that they want to look like a Coventry street sign on a wall with graffiti on. Good fun was had.

Coventry Blitz!

2010-02-28T09:13:00.000-08:00

We are trawling through old shoe boxes, searching discs, scanning in photos and collecting pics for issue .01 of Blitz Coventry. Blitz Coventry is a Graffiti / Street Art fanzine documenting the past and present bombing (graffiti writing) of Coventry.

Tags, Throw-ups, Dubs, Pieces, street art, some old school treasures and a feature on one of Coventrys finest, Mean Mr Myer are all in issue 01.

If you have any photos that you would like to contribute then please send them to: blitz@bringcolour.com

Issue .01 out Summer 2010.

Simple IT

2010-02-19T05:24:00.000-08:00

We have designed a logo (above) for a new Coventry based IT company called Simple IT Support. They provide IT solutions for the home and business. Networking, Installations, Upgrades and Virus Removal are some of the services they offer. Support local businesses!

Got Involved.

2010-02-05T01:43:00.000-08:00

After designing the flyer for Get Involved, we were asked to decorate the venue. We decided to build a cardboard box divide with a Christmas vibe. 110 boxes were ordered, made up, numbered and decorated. The divide split the venue into room like areas and each area had a different painting, living room, dining room, bar, and a festive Merry Christmas!

There were some doubts cast weather or not the wall would withstand whatever antics the Christmas ravers would throw at it, and it did! all night! People even leaned against it!

Bud time again!

2010-01-29T03:47:00.001-08:00

The Top Bud camp approached us a while back to bash them up a logo. We didn't have much time to tweak it but they were happy with the result. For 2010 they wanted a face lift, a bling bling Top Bud, so we went to the jewelers and iced out there logo. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Top Bud nights, radio and more, comming in 2010.

Hillfields!

2010-01-09T13:32:00.001-08:00

A few pic's of Hillfields YPC. We went down and with the group painted 20 boards with individual letters spelling out "COME IN AND GET INVOLVED". The boards are to be mounted on to the red window panels in the bottom picture.

Website Hell!

2010-01-09T09:55:00.000-08:00

Websites! The bane of our lives here at Bring Colour for over a year now. Having bought www.bringcolour.co.uk & www.bringcolour.com over 2 years ago we have now got a site up and running.

It has been nightmare after nightmare with the website, firstly, after purchasing the domain names we designed our website (bottom picture) and gave it to the boffs @ Connoserv Media to write the code. The website was up but quickly grew outdated, so we went back to the drawing board.

Our second attempt at our website was going well, not only did we design the site but we wrote the coding for it too, the site was complete, saved, needed a little more tweaking but was ready to go live, and then......Mac Death! We retrieved the web files off the hdd but it was no good, they were corrupt (middle picture). We hung on to the hope that the wizards at Connoserv Media could work there magic, but no! Back to the drawing board we went.

Third time lucky! We did it all again from scratch, learnt some more coding, made version 3 a little better again (top picture).We decided that we wanted complete charge of the site so with a little help from Jason Law, we launched www.bringcolour.co.uk

In the midst of all of this website hell, due to bad communication www.bringcolour.com slipt through our fingers, Gutted!

Yesterday we purchased it back!!!!

No more hold ups! Please. x

Get Involved

2009-12-31T05:18:00.001-08:00

The CV1 soundsystem decided to dust off the speakers and throw a Christmas Party. The CV1 crew managed to get some old school cov heads back to play, inc. the BOSH lot. We were asked to produce a flyer for the night, Dr. Mills gave us the concept idea that he had "old school", "Colour Artwork on the front", and "Details on the back in black and white". The result is the design above.

Aswell as producing the flyer we also decorated the venue!!

Bring Colour took part in an event for Dj Tip Toe called Fish, Chips & Mushypeas. We gathered together five key players in the 2nd wave of Coventry Graffiti to produce a memorial wall for Tip Toes 10yr aniversary. Four Tip Toe Pieces by Dobe, Able, Kept, ESone and a mean character by Mr Myers. Wonder how long this wall will last?

Flier design for Club Stretch. A bi-weekly night at The Cellar, Rosie Malones, a building that has some nice size walls that would look great with a brightening up from Bring Colour.

Spot the difference!

Whilst perusing the internet we found this lovely lady standing next to a Bring Colour production we did last May for "Hair Fashion Music Glamour" @ the Warehouse. Dont they have an uncanny resemblance?

Everyone enjoys a good party and the Bring Colour crew are no exception.

Bring Colour produce Artwork, provide Graphics, deliver Workshops and our team can turn there hand to most creative media, but film is something we havent explored.
The short film above is our first attempt, filmed and edited by Bring Colour and the first track on the film was produced by Bring Colour's very own Doberman.

Hope you enjoy!

Mac Death!

2009-07-28T02:30:00.000-07:00

Don't be fooled by the lack of posts recently! Still alive and up to the usual antics!

Posts will follow of whats been going on, but Bring Colour have learn't a very valuable lesson. BACK UP EVERYTHING!
Returning to the trusted G4, After having a good nights sleep, we came across a major problem.
The Mac wouldn't work, hearts were filled with dread, whys it not working?? wheres all our work?? why didn't we back it all up??
But all wasn't lost!!!
Thanks to another G4, firewire, the internet and a lot of patients, many of hours were spent painstakingly retrieving all of our files back, file by file, it seemed to take forever.
Not something we will be experiencing again!
Lessons were learnt and back up cd's were burnt!

Computer Geeking!

2009-05-04T13:06:00.000-07:00

Website=Headache! Haven't been up to much painting recently, getting the website sorted is on the top of the agenda. After two months of endless code bashing and late nights searching for unclosed brackets, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The time has come for Bring Colour to deal with never being quite satisfied and always finding something to change and hand over what we have done to the wizards at Connoserv Media to work their magic. The end is near. The end is near.

We'll have to wait and see.
