2481. West Street (1)

Six bricks high. What an amazing contrast to the huge version of this same stencil by Dice67 in Cheltenham that I posted yesterday. Dice67 has really dined out on this iconic image of his daughter, but I am not surprised really, it has something very special about it, maybe it is something to do with the little girl’s stance and attitude that we all know so very well (particularly parents).

I spotted this on West street quite by accident – I really ought to have known it was there on the side of a shop, but it came as a nice surprise to me nonetheless. I suspect it has probably been there for quite some time, but as I have said frequently, I can’t be everywhere all the time and anyhow if I was, there wouldn’t then be any surprises. Gotta love it.

2480. Cheltenham 2018 (4)

Anyone who knows Dice67 also knows that his trademark pieces are based on stencils that he made of his daughter when she was about six or seven, wearing a top with stars and pink wellies. This is the largest version I have seen of this particular stencil and was painted of part of the Cheltenham Paint Festival 2018 As you will know, because I have said it before, Dice67 (Andy Davies) has been the driving force behind the Cheltenham Paint Festival since its inception three years ago. I guess he deserves a big wall as organiser-in-chief.

This piece is really rather special and along with one or two other amazing pieces it dominates this town centre car park. I wonder if his daughter ever gets to see this picture of her and how she feels about it. There are a lot of them about, in Cheltenham, so I suspect that she is used to it. More from Dice67 imminently.

1542. Upfest 2017 (175)

This is one of my favourite stencils from one of my favourite stencil artists (although he has moved more into freehand work), Dice 67. The painting features his daughter Izzy wearing a hoodie, gold skirt and pink wellies. Izzy has her own fine work to the right of the feature image.

This was not the main Upfest piece from Dice 67, rather it was a bit of a bonus, sprayed on a vacant board from a no-show artist. All good.
