StreetFest 2013

Eoin and Zina

Schuh Summer Shoot

GraffitiLDN hooked us up with a quick job painting for an Schuh ad. Painting next to Inkfetish and Mon53. Had this lovely model 'artist' assisting us too. Was entertaining seeing how they thought a 'streetartist' looks like.

RealityBytes MileEnd

Had a fun day with this Mile End crew, did a 1,5hour portrait down the Mile End tunnel for the UK female rapper Tantrum. And did a little person inside RealityBytes offices.

Whitecross StreetFest 2012

Dropped by Whitecross street fest, with a little bag with a bit of paint. Wasnt sure it was space left, but next to Inkfetish there was luckily a spot. I hadnt planned what to paint even, but chose something familiar and made it fairly simple this time. Was a nice and sunny day and lots of people out, enjoy these events, its a great to catch up with other artists aswell.

Blackpool, June 2012

It will be a quick post update from the last year or so, when the computer has agreed to work with me I might write a bit more on each. For now, quick re cap on events since the last Jamaica posts. Then also sort out the gallery for you. Check out my Facebook for most recent spraypaintings, follow my insta for all and anything random in Zina world. Twitter too @illuzina for news updates. My Behance and Flickr should have a better overview on most of my work too!

Thanks for dropping by again, appologise for leaving you for so long! Much Luv Z

Black Scorpio- Kingston

This is probably the quickest response we got to our initial emailing to link our project and finding walls. Jack (Black) Scorpios daughter, Tashima, instantly flowed with our ideas and saw similar visions with the project, and welcomed it with open arms. Unfortunately for us, but lucky for her, she was away on holiday when we arrived. However, Jack and Spyder (his son) were equally open about Nicin’ up the island. (more about Black Scorpio on my previous post: here.)

 

  First weekend in Kingston, Jack kindly invited us along to Rebel Salute, an amazing night-day long reggae gig. When we came back the second time, he took us to Bob Marley Tribute concert held by the Marley ‘kids’ in Trench Town. We were lucky seeing the likes of Damian Marley, Romain Virgo and Capleton. They also helped sorting out accommodation for the rest of the stay in Jamaica above Spyders rec. studio, which we had a short sneaky peek while SmokeKing was recording some dubplates with Buju Bantons sister Adena Myrie. 

 

Enough about this ‘boring’ stuff, now, painting! It’s the first ROOF painting I’ve done. It was quite refreshing working on a higher level, and with a bit of a distance from any interruptions or distractions I could concentrate more. The only discomfort, or difficulty was trying not to stumble and fall in all these iron poles sticking up for wall extensions.  This paint took two days, as first day we had to get hold of more buckets of house paint (…as someone was lucky to spill half a box in his rucksack, got to have a couple of minor accidents..or?!)

Last post will be from Tuff Gong Int. (Marley rec studio.)
