Cornish Stencil Graffiti 2004-2005...
Kernow Pirates stencil was created for friends of mine who squatted the Admiral Nelson pub in protest at its proposed redevelopment into flats. The Admiral Nelson in Falmouth has a long standing history associated with pirates & smugglers. No Fun was created in protest at the amount of rules on the beaches in the area, and was placed on identical signs up and down the cost. 9/11 Babylons Burning was intended to draw parallels between the twin towers function and destruction and the bible story of Babylon. This stencil caused alot of controversy and offence. Most of these stencils went up in Falmouth as well as the surrounding areas such as Penryn, Redruth, Truro and many other smaller places in Cornwall. 9/11 Babylons Burning also made it up to Bristol & Farnham in Surrey and I think a few service stations in between them all.

9/11 Babylons Burning - Falmouth, Redruth, Truro, Cornwall, UK. I did this in response to the twin towers terrorist attack, I wanted people to be aware of what the twin towers actually stand for and why they might be a target. I also wanted to draw parallels between this attack and the bible stories about Babylon.

No Fun - Break the rules - Gillingvase Beach, Falmouth, Cornwall, UK

These 'No Fun, Enjoyment is strictly prohibited in this area. AT ALL TIMES' stencils, with a smile being crossed out, were put up all along this part of the cost line which had these signs. Gillingvase, Carrick, Swanpool beaches in and around Falmouth all got it put up. After it was cleaned off, people started writing it back in themselves!

Kernow Pirates - We wont bow to London rule! - Falmouth, Redruth, Truro, Cornwall, UK

This Kernow Pirates stencil was created for friends of mine who squatted the Admiral Nelson pub in protest at its proposed redevelopment into flats. The Admiral Nelson in Falmouth has a long standing history associated with pirates & smugglers. It also has overtones of the Cornish National movement. It helped the squatters and protestors to gain support from local residents.
