Documenting the pandemic through Street Art
I have covered the Covid-19 epidemic in a lot of detail since the start of the outbreak, and quite a few of my artworks have been featured in articles from all over the world in many different languages. As I have produced so much artwork about the outbreak and its socio-economic consequences, I decided to produce a book as an informative, vibrant, and occasionally-humorous diary of the unprecedented events. Most of the images seen and explained in this book come from Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Glastonbury, Weston-super-Mare, and Worcester. While in the situation of a national lockdown, it would have been easier to go out undetected and produce lots more art, I did (for the most part) obey the lockdown and social distancing rules. I considered going out to spray images as my “one permitted form of exercise a day.” Being stuck at home gave me time to prepare stencils and other artworks at home for the future. Given that art products were definitely not considered essential and not easy to buy, it forced me to recycle or reuse more items, such as making more stencils out of old cardboard cereal boxes.
The book goes into a lot more detail about the meanings behind the artwork and covers the pandemic in a lot more depth and is available from my website.

I am a Street Artist and author from Bristol who is generally motivated by a sense of political or social injustice and the need to inform or remind the public about these important issues, perhaps keeping up the pressure on the authorities. I am constantly scanning the newspapers and social media for stories. Often you have to react very quickly as there is no point in putting the art out two weeks after the story was first aired. A week in politics can be a very long time, politicians can quickly make u-turns and the public can get distracted by something unimportant, so it has to be quick, fast and effective. Read more »
