Superlative UK hip hop band and good friends of EndoftheLine – Lazy Habits, asked us to do something special for a video to go with the dubstep remix of their brilliant new single Starting Fires. The video for the album version (below) is pretty incredible so we had a lot to live up to with ours.

The resulting 12 hour timelapse session with Probs stepping out of the shot for EVERY picture was every bit as tedious as it sounds, but the result is amazing. A painting that appears to paint itself, a beautiful airplane crash that appears near animated, we can’t wait to show you the finished video, but for now here’s a few teaser shots of the finished canvas.

The Montana ‘Just Writing My Name Meets…’ series released this last month. Vibes and Alfa taking out one of the walls at EndoftheLine’s secret rooftop hall of fame. Vibes’ wall was definitely one of the highlights at this year’s Meeting of Styles and it’s always a pleasure to watch him paint, as always we’ll let the pictures and footage do the talking.

We’re getting the chance to meet some of our favourite L.A based artists at the moment. First El Mac came to town and we sorted him out a wall for his incredible gaucho piece, and now Probs has been braving the biting winds of Old Street with Remi/Rough and adopted Angelenos Dabs and Myla.

Big artists need big spots and there aren’t many walls in East London as visible as the Mother bar frontage on Old Street. The indigenous lesser-spotted hipster now has a beautifully painted lady surrounded by dreamed koi to drunkenly fall against courtesy of Probs. Dabs and Myla meanwhile turned their trademark retro styles to a top hat wearing sausage and ‘Stay Golden’ over a foundation of stripes by Remi. As always we’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Everyone has been moaning about the heating not being on enough and they’re stockpiling pumpkins and enormous tubs of sweets in the shops. It can only mean one thing, it’s Winter. It shouldn’t really be a surprise, it happens every year, but we don’t really feel like we’ve had a Summer yet this year so it’s a bit disappointing to be digging out beanies and big jackets already. Ah well, it’s never stopped us painting in the past and it’s also a perfect chance to post a few wintery pics from yester year. This Sin City inspired production featured Probs, Blam, Dep, and Bonzai. If snowy cold weather inspires this kind of quality work maybe Winter won’t be so bad after all.

Portuguese artist Odeith has been impressing us for years with his crazy anamorphic style, having seen a new video from him on Youtube the other day it seemed like a good moment to collect together some of our favourite videos from him. Some of the video could be better quality but you’ll get the idea. If you like what you see check out http://odeith.com/

Check it out, it’s mind-boggling time.

Our friends at LDN Graffiti -  have sent us a whole bunch of photographs we can post from our incredible massive graffiti jam – The Meeting Of Styles – London.  Thank you to all the artists who painted and also all the photographers who have documented this event – the results are always amazing.

The 4th annual Meeting of Styles UK has been a long journey for us here at EndoftheLine. Having now had a chance to catch breath and reflect on the weekend that was, we’re extremely pleased with how it all went down. It was an entirely positive event, with no negative feedback other than a few petty internet haters and the residents noise complaints, but then we challenge you to put on an event in a residential area without that happening.

From the moment the artists turned up on Saturday morning it was always going to be a great day’s painting. The Ghetto Farceur boys from France rocked up with a 2 litre bottle of premixed pastis which was dutifully forced on anyone near them, 10 in the morning was a little early for us though. A big thank you to all the artists who made our job so much easier.

When you have your Summer event pushed back to October the weather is one of the biggest concerns. Luckily for us we had a pretty dry day with only the odd spit of moisture and the sun was even allegedly spotted once or twice. Picking out highlights from an event packed with show-stoppers isn’t easy, and everyone raised their game so high it’s even harder. We’ll let the pictures do the talking at this point, let us know which pieces are your favourites.

Musically we got down to the sounds of Chu-i, Rolls Royce, and Trol23 – who had the excellent ‘Granville Sessions’ and Si Philly jump up for a freestyle session. Mylon played hip hop classics to take us in to the main acts of the afterparty and soldiered through some technical issues with the decks. Reeps1, Crossbone T, and Buggsy all absolutely killed it before the mighty Phi Life Cypher stepped up and showed everyone why they deserve their legendary status. With Joe Driscoll’s incredible loop pedal skills and Wrongtom’s hard reggae riddims to finish things off in style it really couldn’t have been better.

Massive biggups to all those who painted, all the musicians, everyone who helped in any way no matter how small, we couldn’t have done it without you. Particular thanks go to Mylon, Jay, Tom, and Amuk for coming to help Probs, Matilda, and Trol23 prep all the walls (that was a LOT of black emulsion). Big shout to Cept and Snoe for pimping the party space, it really looked amazing. Boyd made the day so special by running the best workshops we could possibly have had. Mad love to the ever calm under pressure Chu-i who was the host with the most as always, and the event would’ve been nothing without the help of Natalie, Zia, Margot, and Riya. Lastly we have to biggup the Storm Freerun ninjas, who did mind boggling flips and gainers all day, and all the people who’ve left us such positive feedback, it means a lot. The tag on the Ghetto Farceur, Bonzai, and Epok wall sums things up nicely – “Meeting of Smiles”.

This recent street art festival in Poland was clearly all about MASSIVE walls. We particularly like our friend Aryz’s reclining lady and the incredible SatOne and Etam crew collaboration. Check out the flicks and let your mind boggle.
