LSD Magazine - issue 5 - Coming of Age

As the summertime rush kicks deeper into action and the sun drenched vibes flow hard, LSD is back to celebrate its’ first birthday in a blistering meteor shower of form, colour, image, sublime emotion, bassline thunder and the vivid kaleidoscope of the third eye. Hurling the visions and the understanding trapped in the shadows into the penetrating sunshine of imagination, this mammoth issue takes a wild and totally uninsured ride through some of the finest art, ideas, music, activism and spectacular lunacy channelling through society’s undercurrents and crystallises into well over 500 pages of sparkling goodness.......LET’S AV YA.....

Graffiti Writers Warning 2 Big Brother's 'Sam'

LSD Magazine has been anonymously contacted by a crew calling themselves Team Eastside on the subject of Big Brothers purported graffiti artist Sam. We cant say we're fans of the show but the crew has issued warnings against Sam doing graffiti in Hackney, Shoreditch and Brick Lane.

We're not entirely sure whats got the lads so upset but they claim that Sam is trying to get street credit by pretending to be a graffiti artist and doing a bad job of it. They even criticised Sam's large chest tattoo which features red roses and a scroll claiming 'no writer would have bog standard red roses painted on their chest like that'. No threats of violence but they have promised to ruin any work he tries to place in London's thriving street art graffiti capitals. 

Sam was unavailable for comment due to still being in the Big Brother house…

The Legend that is Graffiti Writer 'Drax WD' Confesses All

One of the oldest and globally recognised graffiti writers on the block confesses everything...

Father.. I sat up one night and made a Photo-shopped compilation of a bunch of my throw up's and then for no obviously acceptable reason I then knowingly displayed them on the internet. Possibly destroying the credibility of a once proud graffiti writing heritage. I knew it was wrong but I was weak and I couldnt help myself.

Father.. I have allowed myself to be seduced by a cult that calls itself Team Robbo. I know this group is a covenant of wrong-doers and I know I have "strayed from the path of righteousness".

Father! In my defence: I have thus far resisted the urge to sell canvases, do stencil work, make screenprints for re-sale, wear a trilby hat or tight jeans, use crass terms like "counter-culture" and/or "Street art" and talk about myself in the 3rd person. So please go easy on me when you decree my penance. Forgive me Father for I have sinned! Drax WD

Old Skool graffiti artist Busk Paints Lord Napier

Old Skool graffiti artist Busk relived part of his youth as he threw up his calling sign on the Lord Napier pub. In days gone by no permission would be sought for this particular hideaway in Hackney Wick. Today though, Busk has the full permission of the owner Paul which was better than nailing all the doors shut from the outside with any threats locked silently within the four walls. Yes, Paul is sound as a pound and even offers the space for artist to exhibit their wares. Meanwhile Busk was attracting the most attention for spraying gold paint on the wall, to the untrained eye it looked, well, they couldn't be sure. Someone asked me if it was Banksy i said if he could spray lines like that i dont think he'd be doing stencils but then again he just might. As Busk finished tarnishing the red walls gold, graffiti legend Snoe began throwing up his piece on the other outside wall.


A host of artists (including Run, Cept, Discreet) were on the streets painting walls for the Hackney Wicked Arts Festival in 'erm Hackney Wick. Trains run direct to the station... Tomorrow and Sunday dozens of well known street / graffiti artists will be painting live on the streets throughout the event... We'll be down there and say hello...

Sclater Street (Brick Lane) - Completely Buffed

It was always gonna be just a matter of time before the Hall of Fame was completely taken out by the corporate suits. This is the general plan for all the Halls of Fame in London and as we all know, where's there's a blank wall you'll always attract taggers and wannabe vandals. One by one the infamous Hall of Fame's are disappearing…When will the authorities learn that by banning proper graffiti / street artists they run the risk of badly drawn tags, names, doodling…Commission artists to paint walls and they wont look so messy...

White Cross Street Party - Today & Tomorrow

Its the first time we've been to a White Cross Street art event and we really didnt know what to expect. Firstly the flyer just said White Cross Street and didnt mention a venue, we thought great, now we have to wonder up n down trying to find the gaff. Alas this was not too be as almost the entire street has become a walk-through interactive live painting studio and art gallery. Art adores the outside walls of many local businesses which is always nice too see. Normal folk and artists without the bullshit buffer zone of judgment, criminal prosecution and media telling folk how to think and act towards street art graffiti... So in true spirit of reclaim the streets the art contingent was out in full...We met a ton of artists, filmmakers and street art aficionados... 'ow u doing?' 


Get your ass down there Tomorrow (Sunday) as everything you could possibly need from off licenses, restaurants, pubs, street food and more importantly street art graffiti....

Respect to T.wat / Busk for adding LSD Tag...Nice One lads...Its the first time that LSD Mag has been painted on anything and who better to break the cherry than these two legends...

Our man Stik...
