4246. Dean Lane skate park (599)

To be perfectly honest, this is a collaboration that I never thought I would see, in fact, it would simply have never crossed my mind, but what a lot of fun it is. The collaborative piece is by Evey and Jody, and they have pulled it off with flying colours. The only downside is that it didn’;t last very long before being overpainted, which is a real shame, but that is the way in the Deaner at the moment.

In my view, Evey has definitely stepped up her game for this piece and created some tidy letters with a nicely worked stripy 3D drop shadow. There is a subtle red to pink fade in the letters to, which gives it that something extra.

Jody is a class act, and here he has painted a portrait piece of a woman wearing an RBF balaclava giving the middle finger in a gesture of attitude. The whole thing confuses a little with its passive-aggressive stance, but I guess that is the point of it. Jody also left us with a little ‘extra’ piece while he was there, which is great to see. This is an unusual, unexpected and most welcome collaboration.
