Streets: Phlegm – “Waterways”

Posted by sleepboy, June 7, 2012

With the weather turning nicer, the Sheffiled-based Phlegm was able to get out and about painting a set of murals entitled Waterways. The whimsical pieces feature his signature characters and his continued exploration of the nautical theme, which was appropriate considering his placement. Looks like he also may have gotten a little wet based on the difficult locations he had to work in. Discuss Phlegm here.

Streets: Phlegm (Isle of Man)

Posted by sleepboy, April 10, 2012

Street muralist Phlegm recently came across an abandoned pool on the Isle of Man and immediately knew what to do. Befitting the location next to the sea and true to his longstanding love affair with marine imagery, the Sheffield-based artist painted a large sea creature with one of his signature characters in tow. Adding an added layer of complexity was the background filled with years of graf work. More photos after the jump…

Releases: Phlegm – “Civilisation” Print

Posted by sleepboy, February 24, 2012

For those of you intrigued by the intricate drawing from Phlegm that we mentioned earlier this month, here are the details on a print release based on that image. It sounds like the two color screenprint took alot of in-studio time for the Sheffield-based artist to complete, so he will be making it up with time outdoors painting for the foreseeable future. This means this might be your last chance for a while to own something from him so head over here on Monday, February […]
