I can’t quite work something out. I have only been aware of Klashwhensober for a couple of months, and although I have seen some of his ‘Sober’, ‘Soba’, ‘Klash’ and ‘Flash’ pieces for a little while longer, he seems to be everywhere I look at the moment. Did I miss something before, or has he gone completely nuts. I think I have photographed at least ten of his pieces in my last three or four trips out.

This Sober piece is a bit of a beauty on the M32 roundabout. The letters are unmistakably Klashwhensober’s, but it is the fills that are superb, with the red and blue ‘sprinkles’ transitioning along the horizontal divide of colour. The white highlights help the piece to ‘pop’ out giving it the 3D effect. And the whole thing is beautifully finished. There is a lot to like about this piece of writing.

You can expect to see a few more pieces by Klashwhensober in the coming days and weeks now that he has firmly established himself on my radar. This piece spelling out SOBA was recently sprayed on the M32 roundabout.

The bold writing is accompanied with a rather brash character face in a baseball cap, making up the ‘O’ letter. There is some great fill work going on here and an energetic feel about the whole thing. Another member of the LRS crew that seems to be growing by the day. A nice piece.

You can expect to see a few pieces creeping into Natural Adventures over the coming works by the artist Klashwhensober. I met him for the first time in St Werburghs tunnel last week, and what a pleasure it was too. He told me that he writes Klash, as in this piece, but also Flash and Sober. I have seen many of his pieces around the place, but this is the first one I have posted.

It is clear that Klashwhensober is an accomplished writer, and his pink letters here are unusually shaped, but nicely done. They remind me a little of Claro_qhe_sssnoh’s lettering style. Look out for more from this artist in coming weeks.

UPDATE – I forgot to include his character that was alongside the writing of one of the Rugrats cartoon family – was it the father? Very nicely done whatever.
