It's been a long and busy summer for us all at EVILTWINLDN HQ, filled with all the pressures of modern life, but SOMEHOW we managed to find time to spend in the studio and have come up with some fancy fresh new artworks for your eyeballing pleasure. What you are about to see is our first ONLINE EXHIBITION. An exhibition in a gallery costs money we don't have and frankly would probably be super boring. There would be too many tequilas and something would catch fire so we decided to do it on the internet instead. All of these pieces are hand-painted, hand-drawn or painted from hand-cut stencils by our resident pencilmonkeys DONNIE K and CHARLAMAGNE.

Hand-drawn/cut stencil on canvas Scoping out some of Brighton's hidden gems.
Bombed out alleys and general distaste towards authority. Just what the doctor ordered. We did a bit of exploring whilst up in Leeds and came across some cool abandoned shit including an old mill (hence the witty title).
Enjoy. After a busy month of not being able to do anything, we were finally able to get out and have a combined wilderness/painting session this week.
Here are some shots from the day: (Please also note the trippy eye piece before and after pics towards the bottom of the gallery which someone managed to diss in the time we were out in a highly unceremonious fashion) Ladies and Gents, Our limited edition DRIPPY TEES are out now and available to buy on our WEBSTORE !

The larger of the two buildings is far worse for wear and as far as we can tell, has been a fairly active graffiti spot since the squatters were evicted in around 2003. The main entrance is covered in your run-of-the-mill Brighton tags (as well as some larger pieces from more prolific writers like Spyer), but as you go further into the building, the casual throwups seem to die down and make way for the anti-police sentiments and private jokes left by the squatters themselves. There seem to have been a few different groups of people occupying the building at any given time judging from the graffiti we found in the upper rooms. Unfortunately, there was also a lot of evidence of some hectic heroin use as we came across a tonne of hypodermic needles, sterile spoons and needle bins.
He claimed that there were initially 2 individuals occupying the building who became aggressive to the representatives from the council, and when they returned to try and remove the occupiers a final time, there were up to 20 individuals living at the site who we imagine were either moved on by the council, or left of their own accord. The site has been incredibly preserved since the squatters were evicted over a decade ago considering the central location of the barracks within Brighton, but sadly plans for the redevelopment of the site are already in motion. There is surprisingly little written history about the site, and none about its most recent occupants and it would be a shame if their story went undocumented. So here’s to Joe Dog, Badgercore, Kolectio Barra Lliure and the ‘Psycotick Punk’ that was behind the door. We hope you guys are doing alright! The EVILTWIN UrbEx Team Check out the gallery below for a detailed look at both sites:This weekend, Super H and Donnie K went to the Leake Street Tunnel in Lambeth and did a bit of colouring in.
