#Graffiti!

The NDSM Wharf is great destination if you love your graffiti, stencil work, and all other #streetart ideas expressed on #concrete.

A fabulous playground of #inspiration, colour, #character design, #socialcomment and visual mayhem!

A fantastic array of #creativity, #graffitiart and use of #colour and #composition. Stunning at this scale and in this former #industrial venue...

Hot Tip 🔥
If your studying Games & want to attend industry expo's but the cost is insanely high, #volunteer!

Great to see UCA Yr3 Games student Gabriel Wright volunteering at #pgclondon.

Its a great way to access to whole event, side events, network, & amplify your CV.

What are you playing at the moment?

I've just been playing The Darkside Detective (re The @slowgameclub.bsky.social), a rather witty and fun #indiedev #game

Late to the party, but I'm finally getting around to playing The @cultofthelamb.bsky.social ... incredibly fabulous on so many fronts! 😍 🫶 💯
