Dotmaster and Sickboy at the Mallorcan Eastern Beach Paint Jam 2013…
‘Widewalls is proud to present the Mallorcan Easter Beach Paint Jam. Set in the stunning little bay Cala Portals, next to Portals, Widewalls and some of our friends spent the weekend painting a derelict cafe/ice-cream parlour before its demolition later that summer.
Based in the shadow of the new Kameha Bay Portals Hotel, this small, old-fashioned relic of holidays from the 60s will be transformed into a gallery over the Easter weekend by some of the top names in urban art’.

Cosmo Sarsons: “I want a giant break-dancing Jesus in the West Country”
The Independant, June 2013-
The city of Bristol boasts a striking new landmark after the unveiling of a giant mural depicting a breakdancing Jesus Christ.
Painted by the artist Cosmo Sarson, the 30ft image is officially inspired by an event dating back to 2004, when breakdancers performed for a visibly impressed Pope John Paul II in the Vatican, and has become an iconic Bristol landmark.
Sarson’s work will remain on a wall in the Stoke’s Croft area for two years, opposite local hero Banksy’s famous creation, Mild Mild West.
