The Ghetto!
George Mathen. 1999-2000
The one that started it all for me. The top pic is mostly hand painted but I learnt to use spray paints on the job from the Ghetto master, Ravi Shetty. The bottom pic shows the outside wall of the pub, completely done with sprayed lacquer paints.
Ravi paid me in beer and sometimes cash. Paintings were done through the night and I sat through economics lectures during the day, a routine which I'm sure nurtured my psychedelic visualisation.
