As a teenager I was fairly obsessed with 2-Tone Records, in particular The Specials, so much so that a plaster cast I had on my broken leg as a sixteen-year-old was decorated from top to bottom in black and white squares. So imagine my unbridled delight at finding this 2-Tonetastick collaboration between Rezwonk and Decay douwn at the M32 roundabout.

I wonder if this piece was inspired in any way by the recent release of a new album from the Specials. On the left Rezwonk has written his name split into six sections in reversed black and white boxes. Some additional accent decorations in red just add a little extra interest.

On the right Decay has written his name in a continuation of the reversed black and white boxes and he too has incorporated some red in the form of his little ‘e’ character Chuck. The dancing rude boy, the filling in the sandwich, could be by either of them, but I’m putting my money on Decay. A joyful collaboration.
I spent the entire afternoon with them whilst they painted this wonderful piece
They were going to go for the easier option of a red outline but were well pleased with their efforts when they decided to go with the far harder and more technical option of continuing the two tone option.
Yes Decay did indeed do the Rude Boy in the middle and the red extras were the very last things to be added.
Lots of fun in the sun . . .

Just a matter of being in the right place at the right time which I am sure you’ll agree seems to come in fits and starts

Wow, nice! Now I’m going to spend the rest of the day with Ghost Town and One Step Beyond earworm. I guess there are worse ways to spend the day 🙂
