Squirl 'Growth' Original Available

Artist: Squirl
Title: Growth
Medium: Framed Acrylic, Aerosol and Oil Pastel on Wood
Size: 62 x 62 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: £300

 

Squirl is the working alias of artist Greg Stobbs, a British illustrator, muralist and street artist based in Canterbury. Born into an illustration dynasty his parents are the celebrated children’s book illustrators Joanna and William Stobbs he grew up surrounded by pens, paper and the smell of gouache, an environment that taught him to treat every surface as a potential story.

Stobbs began his creative life scaling walls and painting under the name Squirl, a nod to his habit of darting around urban sites like the nimble creature itself. His street pieces combine bold, black aerosol outlines with flat, candy-coloured fills, often depicting wide-eyed characters, swirling typography and playful nods to skate culture. Working without stencils, he lets drips and overspray remain, believing these raw marks record the energy of the moment and the sound of the city.

Inside the studio he shifts focus to illustration, creating magical picture-book worlds that bridge fine art and narrative design. Using ink, watercolour and digital layering, he crafts spreads where towering trees wear sneakers and small children ride comets across starlit skies. Recent titles include Don’t Ask the Dragon (Canongate, 2022) and What the Crow Saw Below (Oxford University Press, 2024), both praised for their warm palette and lyrical sense of wonder.

Whether painting a cathedral cloister in York, a post-apocalyptic skate park in Sweden, or a humble book page, Stobbs approaches each surface with the same goal: spark curiosity, spread colour and remind viewers that stories can blossom anywhere imagination takes root.

Lee Ellis 'Do You Smell That?' Original Available

Artist: Lee Ellis
Title: Do You Smell That?
Medium: Acrylic, Aerosol and Oil on Canvas
Size: 13.75 x 17.75 Inches
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $2,015

 

Lee Ellis is a Bristol based British multi media artist whose practice thrives on restless experimentation. Born in 1985, he grew up on a diet of comic books, album sleeves and Saturday morning cartoons, influences that still pulse through his bold colour choices and graphic mark making. After studying fine art at university he spent several years in London advertising agencies, learning how to distil complex messages into single powerful images, a skill he now applies to personal work that explores identity, memory and the fragility of human connection. Working across printmaking, painting and collage, Ellis builds layered surfaces that feel simultaneously chaotic and controlled. He begins with loose charcoal sketches, then adds gestural acrylic strokes, screen printed fragments and torn paper, sanding or scraping back areas to reveal ghost images beneath. The result is a visual archaeology where past decisions peek through present marks, echoing the way personal histories linger under daily routines. His palette leans toward hot pinks, cadmium oranges and deep ultramarines, hues that vibrate against raw canvas and create an energetic push pull across each composition.

Portraits emerge from the abstract fields: faces split into geometric planes, eyes duplicated like misprinted photographs, mouths stretched into silent howls or wide grins. These features are never fixed; they shimmer and dissolve, suggesting the fluid nature of self perception in an age of constant digital reflection. Recent series such as Talking in Colour reduce figures to interlocking colour blocks, yet subtle line work hints at bone structure and emotional weight, inviting viewers to project their own narratives onto the fragmented forms.

Commercial clients including Saatchi Art, DegreeArt and Clarendon Fine Art have championed his prints, while solo exhibitions in Bristol and London regularly sell out. Despite growing demand, Ellis continues to hand pull limited editions in his studio, embracing the slight variations that make each sheet unique. Workshops and live painting events allow him to share his process, encouraging participants to embrace mistakes as creative fuel rather than flaws. Whether rendering a six foot canvas or a small monotype, Lee Ellis seeks the fragile moment when order collapses into chaos and something honest emerges, reminding us that identity is never fixed but always in flux, painted and repainted by every experience we encounter.

Elicser Elliott 'Slumbers Cousin 4th Removed' Prints Available

Artist: Elicser Elliott
Title: Slumbers Cousin 4th Removed #19
Medium: HandEmbellished Screened Giclee Print
Size: 14 x 11 Inches
Edition: 20 (UNIQUE)
Price: $250

Jabari “Elicser” Elliott is a Canadian muralist and graffiti artist who turned aerosol energy into community storytelling. Born in Montreal in 1984, he spent childhood years in Saint Vincent helping his mother create carnival costumes, an immersion in color, rhythm and public celebration that still pulses through his paint. Back in Toronto he studied animation at Sheridan College after a high school art teacher steered him toward creative careers, yet he found truer expression on exterior walls than on a computer screen. Adopting the tag “Elicser,” he began filling blank brick across the city with flowing character based pieces: interlocking figures, swirling hair and botanical forms that feel half human, half breeze.

His process is improvisational, starting with a rough mental image then letting spray caps, fat caps and latex rollers guide the composition, building translucent layers until faces emerge from abstract clouds. Over two decades his murals have become landmarks of Toronto’s downtown core, stretching along alleyways, schoolyards, transit corridors and the iconic Rush Lane graffiti strip. Beyond personal work, Elliott teaches youth workshops that trace graffiti from New York subways to contemporary street art, encouraging students to channel rebellion into disciplined craft. Commercial commissions have arrived from Nike, Manifesto Festival and the City of Toronto itself, yet he balances paid projects with community walls that celebrate local heroes, Black history and Indigenous solidarity. Whether painting a thirty metre facade or a single roller piece, Elliott seeks the same goal: to replace grey concrete with vivid narratives that invite passersby to pause, reflect and feel a little more connected to the living city around them.

___________________ 

Blok One is a contemporary British artist who keeps his legal name out of public view. All published interviews, gallery bios, and agency listings refer to him only by the studio tag “Blok One,” so his birth name remains unpublished at present. What is on record is a clear visual signature: large, explosive paintings and murals that splice hard-edge geometry with freestyle graffiti marks. Spray paint, household emulsion, ripped paper, and thick resin are layered on reclaimed boards or directly on brick, producing glossy, scarred surfaces that feel like city walls frozen mid-party. Color palettes jump from warning orange and taxi-cab yellow to bruised purples, often arranged in concentric squares or fractured letterforms that suggest collapsing signage.

The artist cites early 1980s New York subway writing, 1990s Bristol scene stencils, and Bauhaus color theory as equal influences, a mash-up he calls “organised chaos.” Process shots reveal preliminary vector sketches on a tablet, but every finished piece is completed by hand, sometimes augmented with hand-cut mirror tiles that catch passing headlights or gallery spotlights.

Blok One’s output swings between studio canvases sold through online drops and major street commissions. Recent walls in Shoreditch, Digbeth, and Barcelona’s Poblenou district present optically dizzy portals—rings within rings that seem to recede into the masonry. Public reaction tends to split between viewers who photograph themselves inside the illusion and taggers who leave throw-ups across the lower edges, a dialogue the artist welcomes as part of urban living.

Workshops, limited-print releases, and collaborative apparel lines help fund larger independent murals, keeping the practice fluid and self-directed. For now, the figure behind the name stays intentionally in shadow, letting the bold geometries and color bursts speak for themselves.

Aiko/Montana 'Tokyo Pink' Can Available

Artist: Aiko
Title: MTN Spray Can
Medium: Custom Printed Montana Can in Box
Size: Spray Paint Can Size
Edition: 500
Price: $50

 

Aiko is a Japanese born street artist and printmaker who became one of the original members of the New York collective FAILE. Born Aiko Nakagawa in Tokyo in 1975, she studied filmmaking and graphic design before moving to New York City in 1997. There she met Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, and together they formed the trio that would evolve into FAILE, wheat-pasting layered pop culture collages across downtown walls.

Within the collective Aiko brought a refined stencil technique and a feminine perspective, often inserting elegant female silhouettes, kimono patterns and delicate line work amid the group’s chaotic posters. She documented early street missions on camera and helped develop the ripped, multi-layer aesthetic that became FAILE’s signature. In 2006 she left the group to pursue solo projects, adopting the moniker Lady Aiko, and quickly gained recognition for her own imagery: geishas, butterflies and a recurring bunny motif first sprayed on a bathroom door in Banksy’s London studio.

Today Aiko works on canvas, wood and large outdoor walls from Brooklyn to Miami, Tokyo and Berlin. Her process still relies on hand-cut stencils, gold leaf and spray paint, blending ukiyo-e influences with contemporary street energy. Murals such as Lady With Parasol in Little Italy and Geisha Walk on the Bowery have become landmarks, while gallery exhibitions in New York, London and Paris present limited edition prints that sell out rapidly. By merging Japanese iconography with punk attitude, Aiko continues to expand the dialogue between Eastern tradition and Western street culture, proving that grace and rebellion can coexist on the same wall.

Ted Patrick 'Think Outside The Box' Statues Coming Soon

Medium: Cold Cast Iron
Size: 15 x 35 cm
Edition: 28
Prices: £499

__________________

Ted Patrick is the playful alias adopted by an anonymous UK printmaker who surfaced in 2019 with a small screen print handed out to visitors near Banksy’s pop-up project Dismaland in Weston-super-Mare. The image, a crude beach scene stamped “Ted Patrick edition,” was offered free on the street and later sold online for modest sums, fuelling online chatter about whether the name masked Banksy himself or simply capitalised on the event’s afterglow.

Forum debates reveal no solid proof of direct authorship by Banksy; instead, Ted Patrick appears to be an independent figure riding the coattails of the anonymous star, using the same tactic of low edition drops, punning titles and cloak-and-dagger distribution to create buzz without revealing identity. Some buyers hoped for a hidden Banksy signature, yet Pest Control, the only body that can authenticate Banksy works, has never endorsed a Ted Patrick print. The moniker may even reference the American “father of deprogramming,” adding another layer of mischief. Today the prints circulate as affordable souvenirs of the Dismaland summer, valued less for artistic innovation than for their place in the ongoing mythology surrounding Banksy and the urban art circus his stunts inevitably attract.
