Sweet Toof and the Burning Candy crew as a whole (Sweet Toof is part of it) are heavy-weight champions when it comes to street art in London. If you have ever wandered around East London, you must have come across these ‘bubble-gum’ faces with protuberant teeth characters always bursting with flashy colors but this is not what it is about here or not quite.

‘So It Goes…’ features new work from the artist’s notorious and much sought after Pulp Fiction series, which explores the porous boundary between reality and fiction. The duo have created an exclusive collection of original hand painted Pulp Fiction paperbacks, original canvas works and hand painted limited editions that reflect their interest in how our understanding of the world is formed by the narratives we tell about it.
Following a series of sell out exhibitions from Los Angeles to Sydney, these internationally acclaimed artists are back in London with not only a new body of work, but a new cause – the foundation on an NGO in association with the artists’ friends and collaborators Pussy Riot. The new show will combine reality and fiction with an installation detailing their experiences in ‘The Jungle’ refugee camp in Calais. Hang-Up will be releasing a third limited edition charity print to raise further funds to build additional shelters when they return to The Jungle with Pussy Riot in December.
WHAT – ‘SO it goes’ by The Connor Brothers
WHERE – Hang Up gallery, 81 Stoke Newington Road, Stoke Newington, London N16 8AD
WHEN – 13 NOV – 6 DEC 2015
After having spent almost a year building up a diverse, international and trendy collection of Contemporary and Investment Prints, Jester Jacques Art is now ready to present their Fine Art Collection.
Curated by the Directors of JJ Art, the collection of paintings, sculptures, collages and photographs have been conscientiously selected to ensure quality, investment potential and one of a kind pieces from the finest artists from all over the world, already established in their careers.
With only 1 – 5 original pieces of artwork available by each artist, Jester Jacques provides an exclusive and limited range of beautiful, framed and ready to display pieces. The collection was created with the intention of supporting young and mid career artists and to develop a showcase for those artists beyond the galleries in which their work was usually seen.
Ready just in time for Christmas, the works on offer make excellent gifts, as original pieces by established artists allow for both unique, decorative pieces as well as serving as long term investments. Every single artist is profiled to show their selling history, achievements and exhibition lists.
Full Collection Available to purchase now until January 1st, 2014. Click to Shop.

Shepard Fairey’s face must have dropped when he saw these “Yes we scan” posters which are a “remix” of his now iconic “Hope” pieece for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Yesterday he was the one using a photograph without permission, which got him into a legal battle and a $25,000 fine, but today it looks like someone is doing just the same.
We hear that Shepard Fairey likes the posters a lot and that he will not start any legal proceedings. We agree too, e thing they are great posters with a straight to the point slogan. What do you think?
The posters features the slogan “Yes We Scan,” a parody of Obama’s “Yes We Can” rallying cry, and an image of the president wearing headphones, presumably to listen in on average Americans’ phone calls.
“Subversion of well known symbols and images for social commentary has long been a technique in my repertoire, so I’m glad to see it in the work of others,” Fairey said

Feel free to comment too at the end of this article. Let’s get started….

We stumbled upon the piece called “Cloudy Morning, Manahattan” – oil on panel, 150 x 150cm and instantly liked the smoky and hazy atmosphere of this piece achieved in using panels. It made us want to go and explore the scene that was presented in front of our eyes.
