'London graffiti artists Jimi Crayon and Stika’s new Art collective are supporting the national THINK! drug drive campaign with a massive artwork in Shoreditch. The wall, part of the Village Underground events space, is approximately 16.5 metres long by eight metres high and is just off Great Eastern Street. A known hotspot for art, the graffiti features three prominent eyes and is a striking visual representation of the involuntary effects that cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy have on the eyes. The message ‘drug driving is it worth it?’ and ‘your eyes will give you away’ aims to create a talking point about the issue by reminding passersby that police are able to spot the signs with some trained to check the pupils as part of the field impairment assessment.'

How ironic, that only 2 posts down you are posting worthless photographs of you smoking drugs and then in the same vain you are promoting your friends anti drug work.
Climb down
They're promoting his ARTWORK not the message the GOVERNMENT contracted him out to convey.
Yeah you dick head.
Plus is there any flicks of people driving while under influence?Didn't think so.
Read the post before you comment.
no disrespect to jimi, but the government is bare waste, "we need to get the kids off drug driving"
"i know! let's use urban street art"
most people will walk past that wall and just notice the word CANNABIS, being as it is kinda the focal point, text-wise any way, of the whole wall, and not think twice about it's intended message.
^ That why a viral video was made of the process and production of the wall, to then be distributed across the internet in relevant locations.
Thus gaining attention from the target audience of 17 - 30 year olds, therefore conveying the message in a unique and creative way.
whats outstanding about the middle/ cocaine eye. apart from the colour, does coke turn your iris yellow?
man's are getting paid to post on this blog?
MANS ARE GETTTING OVER PAID FAM. JIMIS GETTTING DOE, BNTL HEAD ARE GETTING ARRRRD DOE.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW BIG THIS BLOG IS?
maybe my idea of doe is different to yours....little man's ain't getting paid 'ard doe here
they are basically internet 'flyer boys'
having money to buy Supreme clothes when you live off mum and dad ain't nothing
I dont know about this lot. but jimi and them guys definatly dont live with there parents, and 6 - 12k a job is not bad money when you are 25 years old.
I think Jimi and Stika look really 'fly' in that photo. Good message too, if someone hit my friend, girlfriend, mom, brother whilst drug/drink driving i'd be pissed. Ha all i know is no one else paints that big and neat.
yo mr 13:52 can you give us a top 5 crimes you have committed...
note: stealing coins from mums purse don't count
Hang on, by saying 'Art Fag' then saying real crimes. I asume your saying Illegal graff is a 'real crime' compared to being an 'Artfag"?
I know enough real criminals who laugh at me daily for breaking into places only to not steal anything or make money, but to instead risk pen to leave my name painted big in pretty colours on trains and tracks.
If your a real criminal why are you sitting at home commenting on a post about pretty pictures?
Haha, this video is doing its job nicely.
swear down i've seen a few photos on this blog of someone driving a car while obviously zooted
Hahhaahah the car was parked officer!
Haha @ Intern. Do you want a job?
Nah, your alright Tan. You're gonna have to find someone else to cover your paper round if your away.
Have you met Tan?
yeah i see him all the time being driven by his moms on his paper round. I saw him on his bike doing it once but it's a big bag for a wee man.
Don't no why people ended up hating on the blog itself (which is interesting enough), or talking about how much dough they make. Who gives a fuck about how much dough you make boy! Go and work in the city if you're up for making paper.
The 'art' is gay. Simple. Doing a piece for the government about drug driving is a little bit off. And blogging about it is a bit off key.
But whatevz.
The hating thing is interesting though.
Why are people hating.
Cos its not just about success is it?
Or the way you roll with that percieved success.
you guys that come on here and chat shit about who has how much money and whos mum does what for them are bare gay! u think the fact you take shots at people you don't know, anonymously from the warm safety of your bedroom, encourages anyone to believe that you're a hardened criminal from the streets?
the truth is they could easily stop ppl from posting anon comments but they dont cus most ppl read the comments more then the actual posts
thats what i do
anons dont exist, you shouldnt be scared to put a name to your comment, you can have your say iss all good, no one will hurt you for it!
I liked doing this campaign, we got free creative reign to do what we wanted, whoever said the coke one in the middle looks the same as a normal eye, thats what i thought, wanna split a G... and we got paid real money without having to work in a shop or sit at a desk, and to that ninja turtle Rafael... wouldnt get your knickers in a twist bruv plus splinter wants you home by 9pm
thanks for caring, see ya!
jimi likes a blast of powder now and then.
Haha ^ You can always tell when ron or matt post anons.
