<< RÏP: HELCH … >>

I think mostly everyone that came to paint @leakestreetarches on Sunday for the excellent JAM FOR THE FAM event morganised by our legendary MC / artist / community kingpin friend @peterproppa & crew was thinking about what happened with @Helchlondon . He’s not someone I knew personally , but have seen his work around forever, so feels like I knew something of him, but friends of friends knew he.. & when an all city king like him is lost the wave of grief ripples through the community as everyone is shocked at the sudden loss. Gone at such a young age too. Sincerely condolences to @isielondon & all his people 💐

Good to connect with @_holybatpants_ on the left of my piece inspired by Aubrey Beardsley art ( Le Morte d’Arthur ) piece to my right by the legend KARM , & moving target tagging canvas provided by the excellent @pilucaworld.art @pilucaworld doing amazing things .. 🍑🎯✍️🎨

Fyodor Dostoevsky died #OnThisDay 145 years ago. His first novel, “Poor Folk” was first published in Britain 50 years after it was written-but illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley!

🎂 Proprio nel mese della sua nascita celebriamo il genio visionario dell’Art Nouveau, l’illustratore che ha rivoluzionato il bianco e nero con sensualità, simbolismo e provocazione.

✒️ Ha dato immagine e corpo ai grandi classici della letteratura e collaborato con #OscarWilde.

Il suo stile gotico ancora oggi affascina (e scandalizza 👀).

🥸 Chi l’ha detto che l’Ottocento é noioso?

👇 Hai mai visto le sue illustrazioni più controverse?

Ils sont tous disponibles pour être encré et si une autre illustration de monsieur Beardsley qui n’est pas présente ici vous intéresse, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire un dm ✨
