MAU MAU - A UK Street Artist without border

An established artist on the street art scene and a homegrown southwest talent, Mau Mau has been putting his artwork on canvas and bombing public spaces for over a decade.
As well as his exploits in the art world, he has worked on video animations for Dizzee Rascal and The Herbaliser and created album covers and logos for Skitz (including the new release Sticks Man) Rodney P, Roots Manuva and Estelle.
He is currently producing thought provoking street-smart designs for THTC’s eco trendy clothing. Not by any means a stranger to the fashion industry, back in the 90’s Mau Mau worked on his own clothing label – Sewerside - producing iconic designs that gained a cult following.
Mau Mau has quite literally tagged the world - painting pieces all over the UK, America, Jamaica, Thailand, and Australia. His distinctive style often comes with a message – ideas prompted by political and environmental topics and served with a typically ironic British twist.

SICKBOY - Part of The British Street Art Leaders

A leading artist to emerge from Bristol’s graffiti scene, Sickboy’s humorous work has cemented his place in the upper echelons of the British street art movement.
Sickboy is one of the first UK artists to use a logo in place of a tag, and his red and yellow street logo known as ‘The Temple’ can be seen on walls and wheelie bins worldwide.
Sickboy has built up one of the largest bodies of street art works in UK history and he is tipped by the leading financial press as one of the movement’s most bankable artists. His temples, slogans and audacious stunts – including the caged heart installation dropped outside the Tate Modern in 2008 – have landed him global recognition.
His work has featured in countless graffiti books and documentary films including Banksy’s Oscar-nominated Exit Through the Gift Shop, and in global and national TV, newspapers and magazines including BBC London News, The Financial Times, The Independent, i-D, and many more.
