Welcome aboard Robin Delighted dear chap. Robin'o I believe is what i need to get used to now. Quite fond of a tipple of blackthorn or even a sneaky diamond white from time to time. Hoping to find such fine brews over here. It is indeed a long way from Bristol and all those empty buildings on the Gloucester road. The driver of the 75 bus looked most perplexed when I carried my ladder on. The scoundrel even wanted to charge me for it!!! More soon Robin'o

I say, what a dastardly fellow he must have been ! Such a shame you left the fair City of Bristol for the bright lights of londiniam, you should have stayed at home and carried on painted down Easton way. I always admired the way you managed to decorate the place. The lane in Easton was a personal favorite of mine. So why did you leave Bristol ? Only to return and paint monkeys riding bombs around town ? Good to hear you supporting Graffle as well last year, even making the trip down as well, good for you. So whats next Rob ?? Touch up of a few old pieces still on the home town walls ?? The oldest piece could do with a touch up...do people even know it's you that painted it. How about getting the old crew together and having a show up park st like the old days ?

Such a shame you left the fair City of Bristol for the bright lights of londiniam, you should have stayed at home and carried on painted down Easton way. I always admired the way you managed to decorate the place. The lane in Easton was a personal favorite of mine. They're just pictures really. Pictures on walls So why did you leave Bristol ? Only to return and paint monkeys riding bombs around town ? Good to hear you supporting Graffle as well last year, even making the trip down as well, good for you. So whats next Rob ?? Touch up of a few old pieces still on the home town walls ?? No. Theoretically I'd love to. However, my philosophy is that they are on the street, part of the street, interacting with the street in an organic way. As the mayfly has a single day to flourish in the sun, fighting the onslaught of time and age, so my work decays into the detritous of the earth, perhaps to be returned to the stardust it once belonged. Besides, I believe they are all on ebay now! Next??? Perhaps a show. Are you aware of any street art shows that are on the horizons? I just may have to show up.

Robin, Only someone from south of the river with a good edjamaction would be able to compare the life of the mayfly to graffiti ! The work in question is not widely known as even being from your hand so I think it's safe to say it'll remain intact for another 10 years. A very very good mtual friend of ours pointed it it out as being " probably the earliest piece still on the street " lets hope it stays there and has the life span of an elephant and not a mayfly! As for upcoming shows...theres this guy in Sydney ( believe you've been before and decroated the place ) who's cobbling together a show to feature works of the great unwashed from around the globe. Don't think you'll be welcome old chap as you'd spoil the planned name for the show. Oh well..maybe next time ? If you insist on coming along how will we know it's you ?? I hear you've put on a bit of beef since the dastardly picture was taken a few years ago! Still like the guinness do you ??

Yup, I'd like to also welcome 'Robin' to our fair shores. You'll find plenty of cold beer, big walls and no Mail on Sunday. We've got the Herald Sun, but they're too busy kissing the Pope's ring to be any bother.
