Roughe, System and Juice 126 hit One Foot in the Grove

Got a mail from Roughe the other day saying that he, System and Juice 126 we’re planning something big and beautiful for One Foot in the Grove and they delivered just that on Monday… then dissappeared to paint a desserted town somewhere in Scotland… here is a little sneaky peaky at what they did, the full peice is about 20ft high and we think it’s one of their best ever.

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME

How things progress! Lots more images to come of the recent activity onsite. Here we have Best Ever Crew in action with parts of a sculpture by Sam Haggerty.

Wreckage to bring the rukus with an attack of the 3 ton hydraulic dinosaur… naturally

Wreckage in his natural environment, that's him on the right...

This just in, Alex ‘Wreckage’ Wright is set to unleash a giant dinosaur on the innocent Portobello public… the metalic monster will roam One Foot in the Grove and we can only hope that Alex has remembered his lead… by the looks of the picture (right) Alex’s 20 years of Mutoid Experience mean he can tame any beast the Mutoids care to create… so we’re all safe, for now.

Here’s our Garfield with a quick reminder…

The talented and excellent Chris Ullens made this tasty little teaster for One Foot for us… watch the vid for a sneak peak at the site and what we’re planning on – then send it to your friends, if they’re not even a bit interested then you’ll know not to call them again. Official public launch is the 9th by the way, with special previews beforehand.

Part2ism set to go REAL big…

I’ve just come off the ‘phone with Part2ism and he’s going stellar with huge plans for One Foot. Part2 and his partner Miscellany are planning a 17ft high piece that gets under the skin of nature, love, romance with a touch of voodoo and death is all he’ll say – my goody gosh, if last time was anything to go by it’ll be devastating! Oh, and what’s that on the corner of Portobello and Blenheim?

We HOPE that Obey/Sheperd Fairey is sending us new work for the show…

If you don’t know it was time to get to know ages ago – now you’re just letting yourself down. But you probably do know so that’s cool, just testing.

It’s fingers crossed that Sheperd Fairey, yes Obey, one of, if not THE world’s greatest street artist is sending us a special consignment of bratwurst, von of vitch containz zee Fallen Madonna viz vee big boobies – neeyah ha!

Allo allo you think – this I must see with my own eyes. Hold on to that thought.
