You are so fucking sleazy...and I love it!

Fight, fight, fight

Anyone remember the Banksy v Robbo 'fight' from a couple of years back? For those of you who don't, let me fill you in. It came about because Banksy had painted over a piece from a long retired graffiti artist who went under the monika of 'Robbo' (by all accounts, a faux par in the graffiti world). Clearly this had angered Robbo and his supporters and like Rocky, Robbo came out of retirement and rounded on Banksy and produced some very witty (in my opinion, more so than Banksy) slogans, using Banksy's own artwork as his canvas. The results are below. Found on the Regents Canal on the approach to Camden Town it made for some nice photographs...go have a look...providing they are still there. Anyway, I am wondering if this fight is still going on. Robbo, are you out there?

Graphic Design Poster

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I am Marc Le'Strange, a Designer born, raised and who lives in Hackney (35 years) (No really. I am the real deal as opposed to those imitators who have lived there for 5 minutes...you know who you are). Anyway, I'd like to share with you some of my work, loves, dislikes (including imitators), London, opinions and general banter with everything art and design related...maybe a bit of football (Arsenal) thrown in for good measure.

This is a little something from a series of Graphic Posters I am producing based on music I like - for the uneducated, this is a Marc Bolan lyric...to the quick of eye, you'll notice we share the same spelling of our first name. Marc was also a Hackney Boy, so a kindred spirit if you will.

I hope you enjoy my blog.
