ps: If you are interested in Bristol Graffiti and Street Art and would like to learn more about it then you just need to stick the new book "Children of the Can" on your crimbo list. It's my book of the year!
Ideally buy it direct from the local Bristol publisher. http://www.tangentbooks.co.uk/index.php?pageNo=424
