YANKIN' CHAINS x HIGH VIS BIRMINGHAM
YANKIN' CHAINS
Painted over 2 days in sunny Digbeth, Birmingham. Alongside my mighty Sprite.
Painted as part of the High Vis Festival at “The Custard Factory” in Digbeth in September alongside some other fantastic artists including Paul Monsters and Philth
We chose to make ABC Warriors Mongrol the robot from 2000AD the main feature of the wall to celebrate “Day of Dredd” and after finding out legendary artist Phil Winslade from 2000AD, DC Comic would be there at the event.

BRIGHTON PRIDE FOR THE NHS
ISO PRIDE 2019
Colour makes us very happy, so when the NHS asked us to paint a wall for Brighton Pride this coming weekend, we knew it had to be this.
Thanks to all the kind people who stopped to say they love it.

SNUB23 CRUSHED THE JUNK YARD JAM 2019
WE SMASHED IT, QUITE LITERALLY, AT URBAN ARTISTRY’S JUNK YARD JAM IN CREWE.
We were in our element on the Junk Yard. Surrounded by filth, rust and smashed up electronics and cars. The junk yard felt like a dystopian cyber wasteland which fitted our style perfectly, we had to take advantage and paint as many beautifully gnarly surfaces as we could.
We woke up bright and early on the day of the jam as we were eager to get started. The first thing we painted was a 6 wheel fibreglass Mini Bus. We started by throwing buckets water over the Van and painting it as the water dripped off to give a distressed background. On top of this we painted a SNUB Robot and Orange Isometric Cubes.
Next we painted an old metal drum which was inside one of the Junk Yard Jam warehouses. The drum was covered in rust, peeling paint at massive dents. Everyone was confused as to why we wanted to paint something so awkward and messed up, but to us it was perfect.
We painted the drum with SNUB23’s Iconic Robot and Red Isometric cubes. Then to make the whole piece feel like it had always been painted like that we took a scouring pad to the whole thing and scratched off the paint to reveal the beautiful rusty textures underneath.
Our final piece at Urban Artistry’s Junk Yard Jam excluding a few cheeky ISO’s hidden in places was a giant metal box. We have no idea what this was originally but it had the perfect rust surface which we utilised to our advantage and only painted the outline of the SNUB Robot so it looked like the rusty metal was the surface of the robot.
OH WE FORGOT TO MENTION ONE THING…
ONCE WE HAD FINISHED PAINTING THEM… THEY CRUSHED THEM!
We cannot thank the Junk Yard Jam Guys enough for their incredible hospitality and general greatness. We had the best time.
We also have to thank Graff City and Kobra Paint as always for supplying us with paint.

SNUB23 GARDEN WALL MURAL COMMISSION
Last year a local Brighton resident commissioned us to paint a mural in their back garden, featuring our colourful iconic Isometric cubes. We selected a palette of bright vivid colours to really brighten up the area and make it feel larger.
A year later the very happy client got back in touch and asked us to extend the mural onto the other walls in the garden.
It was really nice to see that after a year the original piece still looked so new and vibrant. Even the plants which were cut back when we first painted the mural had now grown over and integrated themselves into the piece.
We painted the other walls in the garden in-keeping with the original mural design and colours. Wrapping the whole garden with cubes, making the space feel like a totally new world. We took into consideration the windows of the property, facing out into the garden, so the view from each window felt like their own canvas, full of colour.
The end result was really dramatic and beautiful. The client couldn’t have been happier. They were especially excited about all the BBQs they will have in the space.
SNUB23 AT ADEV MARCH AMSTERDAM 2018
We we’re lucky enough to take part in this years ADEV parade (info below)

Representing Friekens Brouwerij we painted a wall on a mobile platform, towed by an airport luggage truck through the city. It was a surreal experience, music booming, smoke bombs, beer and bumps. Finished by the time we all pulled up to party and drink a keg or two. We even painted a tiny car and a collab with Dive Jedi.

About ADEV
Just like last year we’ll dance for the future of Amsterdam’s underground in a parade right through the city centre. We claim our free space in a week where the global dance industry exploits most indoor venues in Amsterdam. Join us in reclaiming the streets and dance to the mobile sounds systems from the Amsterdam underground: Villa Friekens, Schijnheilig, De Valreep, Nimatek, ADM, Dutch Acid Family, Betoeterd, Bajes Dorp and Kalash & Nikov.
The Dutch dance scene was born in the underground. In spaces that were free of commerce and permit culture. Where people could experiment without the need to make a profit. Where volunteers and amateurs could make a new scene flourish.
This fertile underground is under serious threat. Two squats have been evicted last year and existing ones are facing intimidation by the authorities. Meanwhile, Amsterdam faces the largest percentage of unoccupied office space in Europe.
The time has come for the underground to reclaim its fertile free space. For new subcultures to be born. We want to offer Amsterdam an alternative for the commercial clubs and regulated spaces.
‘Our dance parade is a non-commercial statement during ADE. It’s a free and fun alternative where we dance for a good cause. For reconnecting the underground locations and organizations. For inspiring the people to get self-organizing, stop consuming and start creating.’
