Another awesome event last night at Lazarides Rathbone celebrating the launch of VNA 18, featuring Conor Harrington and Mode 2. Thanks to everyone that came along and showed their support, and long may the Conor Craziness Continue!

A selection of originals and prints by Antony Micallef, Conor Harrington, Ian Francis, Jonathan Yeo, JR, Mode 2, Paul Insect, Stanley Donwood, Vhils and Zevs donned the walls of Lazarides' sister venture Post No Bills in Venice Beach, California. Those of us back in London at the launch of Boxi's new exhibition were certainly jealous of this candid affair. Luckily, there is never any shortage on the art/ fun metre at any event stamped with Lazarides approval.

Mode 2 has been in town and getting busy ...Check out these photos of his latest street piece located in the east end of London.
