Old-skool print

It’s a bitterly cold Saturday morning in February and London’s trendy Old Street area is, not surprisingly, deserted. But turn a sleepy corner and there’s a 500-strong crowd who have been waiting patiently since 5am in the drizzling rain for admittance into an out-of-the-way gallery. This dedicated band of people are not queuing to witness the unveiling of a supermodel’s latest flimsy fashion collection – they’re queuing to buy limited edition graffiti works created not with stencils and spray cans but using traditional printing techniques.
