Anybody know a street artist doing commissions?

Hi gang, any street artists amongst us, or anybody know a street artist interested in doing commissions? My wife and I are doing up the house and we have a couple of outdoor (lightwell) walls that we’re keen to see art on. If you have someone in mind please do link their (your) portfolio.

Sadly no one in the UK. Worth going on a sighting in east London and google the tags.

We had a graffiti art work done by friends at my parents house and so want to throw some unsolicited advice in:

The wall condition, priming and preservation is key. The spray paint doesn’t always weather well and when it’s done by street artists they don’t mind if it doesn’t age well. It’s part of the urban look. You might think differently though when on your house / garden.

Ours was done on a suboptimal base and it shows deterioration after just a few years.

He’s more of an acquaintance than a close friend, but I’ve known him for 20 years and he’s a good man.
