Ripo

I’ve been introduced the the graffiti artist Ripo today, via the fab blog, Fat Cap.
i just wanted to share these images – i love the strong typographic style and the really very clever use of primary colour. The way the graffiti plays on its surroundings by spilling out onto the floors or ceilings, or picking a palette from the railings its next to it, or creating contrast with the colour of the walls next door is just really inspiring and exciting to me. Its the sort of thing i would want on the walls of my city, for sure.

All images very much belonging to ripovisuals.com

Found this on a lamp post in Soho square this morning.
Plucked it off, and went to the url on the back, and entered the sharpie scrawled code.
I was then invited to post it back with my contact details, and they would be in touch soon.

Im not the only one, other people have found Bob around the Shoreditch area… were is this going? what does it mean?
And more interestingly, what about the way it looked made me take it off the lamp post (not something im in the habit of doing).
Perhaps i just wanted to know that next chapter in the story!

Update

I think i have just found our Ozzie –

Further Update

I’ve become obsessed with this. It’s a mystery and i love it.
I think its also a mystery to Mr Robert Osband, the man in the picture.

“As to how my picture got plastered all over Britain, I’ve got no idea. I’m waiting to hear from the folks at ToDonnaLoveBob.org myself”

I’m a bit gutted that i managed to miss the cans festival this weekend – (i was on a boat hanging out with ducks) – but have a look under Waterloo, and see what you can see.
great flickr set here.
