After the success of the High-Jinx evenings at the River Bar in Maidstone, Bernz and I were asked to do a piece with a Blade Runner theme for the New Years party. The promotion had a strong iconography with the movie, using the Blade Runner font and themes on the flyers and publicity.
I grabbed a familiar image that I had on the cover of a book about the making of Blade Runner. I wanted a photo real image to try to translate as I've wanted to incorporate this kind of detail in to my graffiti for some time.
It was bitterly cold (being late December), and to my surprise, Gaz rang me up and had come to visit me and was round my house, whilst I was painting.
It's a pity this image can't capture the detail we managed to achieve, as the street below had some good touches, especially the flashing lights on the 'Spinner' cop cars flying along, and the rain effects from slashing spray paint across the board.
