What a hectic day!!! After fucking around trying to get to the train station I finally started my journey on the BR overland to wimbledon to catch the district line up to east putney where I met up with another Perth trooper. We wanted to go and rock a chill legal wall but we had no idea what we'd end up on.....
So we rock up at Tuffnel Park and theres this mad (for those who know he looked like calvin from smart arts) old bloke rocking around the spot with a joint and we walkup to him... there were mad cameras everywhere filming and we felt like we;d just walked onto the set for a new montana advert or something!!! so anyway, we asked him if we could take up a spot (there was only one left behind the soccer goal posts on the B Ball court) and they said we could.... so I had to pump it with grey hoods and not skinny caps!!!
The dude with the camera is a VJ from 'www.soopanatural.com' he was filming the whole production, he filmed me and ache painting for about 10-15 minutes so i spat my verse from the return of the party sith while painting....fuck im talented.haha.
Above is the 'almost finished' (lacking in-lines) joint that Ache and I came up with... Its quite hard to look at the quality of everything else on the wall then look back to ours.... we came to terms though cause those guys had been painting this wall since the early nineties so im pretty sure they'd have a few pieces over me.....

I know wobe will love this BONZAI dude cause he rocks the most futuristic bullshit 4th dimension shit that would slit your eyeballs like a razor to an onion. (above)
So the day ended up fuckin fun... we made some mad friends... turns out that the old bloke i mentioned at the start of this post is not even a writer but heavily involved with all the oldschool NY writers and is personal friends with LEE, DURO, BLADE etc.... he spends alot of time in Brooklyn, he recently organised blades 50th birthday party where he found himself drinking, smoking and a host of other things with EPMD (for those that know, recognise!!) he has the king stories to tell.....
The wall at Tufnell Park was erected in 1985 and has been painted almost every weekend since the early nineties... the paint buildup on the wall is soooo thing you wouldnt believe, you could hit it with a sledge hammer and not touch the bricks!!! Sadly its getting knocked over in 3 weeks cause Arsenal Soccer Club has bought the land to build some training facility... They are going to hold a MASSIVE jam to send the wall out in style... The boys couldnt guarantee me a spot on it (obviously i wouldnt take a spot over someone who has rocked this wall hundreds of times, alot of the boys from around the area did their first pieces there around 92' est. and its a pretty sentimental spot to them) however they said to bring paint in my bag cause you never know where there may be a spot for me on the wall to make history!!!!

Seems like you always stumble into walls with other top notch writers.
