Break City Limits

Dtain from Flip The Script Promotions got in touch with Bring Colour to create a backdrop for their new hip hop night, "Break City Limits".  They wanted a big, bold, graffiti style backdrop to brighten up the West Indian Centre, ready for the b-boys, b-girls, MC's & DJ's to battle it out.

Break City Limits 2 is in the pipelines, so if you missed out on number 1, dust off those shell toes, polish up that name belt buckle, get your Kangol hat out of the loft and get practicing your b-boy stance!

KASUM!

Last week we did some work for the guys at Positive Futures. We were called in to deliver one on one sessions with a young person who had chosen to complete a 10 hr project on the theme 'Graffiti Art'. He chose a name to develop 'KASUM' and set to work in his sketchbook.

Through his sketchbook he showed how the evolution from a simple tag style name up to a colourful 3d piece.

He used what he had learnt over the week to create a final piece in the last session.

It was the first time we had delivered one to one sessions in this kind of format and it went really well, the young person worked really well, created artwork that he was proud of and also got to take his sketchbook home to continue creating!


If you have an enquiry or would like to book a workshop please get in touch.

#CovArt

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!

HEARTS

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

These guys get up to all sorts. The collective Includes Photographers, Film makers, Graffiti, Street & Tattoo Artists, Illustrators, Graphic Designers, Musicians and Poets. Well worth keeping an eye on what they're up to!
