After the Giants
Phlegm’s Mausoleum of the Giants has closed, his giants finally put to rest. It has easily been one of the most remarkable events that Sheffield has ever hosted. Who could ever have imagined people queuing for up to three/four hours for an art exhibition in our city?

It was hard not to get excited when the news first broke that Phlegm would be returning to Sheffield to put on an exhibition. For an artist that has become so well known internationally for his distinctive and highly detailed street art it is perhaps a surprise that this is only his second ever exhibition. Although born in North Wales, Sheffield was for a long time Phlegm’s home town. As a result many walls about the city are adorned with his fantastical illustrations. So whilst he may have moved on it was great to see him return to Sheffield for this event.

OK, so I have been planning this for a while and had originally hoped to get this launched at the start of the year, but life got in the way; however, finally I am ready to reveal the Artists section of Street Art Sheffield. Despite the delay November seems like a good time to launch this as it marks the website’s fourth anniversary.

Nottingham is less than an hour away from Sheffield by train. So yesterday I took a trip down there to see is I could discover some of Nottingham’s street art. Thankfully I didn’t have to search hard to find some great murals and graffiti in the city centre.

It’s a year since Sheffield hosted the Feature Walls street art festival. It saw artists from Sheffield and beyond paint large scale murals across the city centre and beyond. It was a fantastic event for Sheffield and we’re hoping that it won’t be the last of its kind. Perhaps we could have a Feature Walls 2018?

It’s the ninth annual Tramlines music festival in Sheffield this weekend and the city will be buzzing. So I thought it would be great to look back over some of the musical legends that have been painted on Sheffield’s walls over the last few years.

Earlier this week I visited the beautiful seaside town of Southwold over in Suffolk and discovered this great piece of street art. This large scale wall mural of George Orwell can be found at the entrance to the town’s pier. This graffiti mural is by the street artist Pure Evil (Charlie Uzzel-Edwards).
