Good evening
Hive StreetArt community

it's @trippymane with the usual #StreetArt post
for @digi-me's CCC Street Art Contest

I haven't participated in this contest for 7 editions, 7 weeks gone and it feels like a couple of days to me... Time is moving fast...

But finally I have some new pictures taken 2 days ago with my new Samsung Note 10+ phone.

I had my dad coming over to visit me for 4 days, I haven't seen him since 2019 and it was really great to see him and catch up a bit, my girlfriend took a day off to spend with us and she managed to spend the mornings with us in the other days when she was working. My brother also managed to get some days off from work and he joined us in 3 out of this 4 days so it was really cool, only my mom was missing, if not it would have been a proper family reunion! She's at home looking after herself, she had a surgery recently and now she will have to rest for few months before being able to get back to work, so you can imagine that she can't travel. But she is ok, the surgery went great and now her mom (my grandma) is with her helping her to rest and look after herself!

I just wanted to drop a little info in case anyone was wondering where the hell have I been, I started with a great streak in this contests posting every week and then stopped altogether! Life gets busy at times ehehe (Also I was lacking some good graffiti material)

But Trippy is back! and for this post I have some very good looking graffiti, get ready! And.... SPOILER ALERT! I will finally post my old graffiti at some point before the end of the year! We are getting less and less busy at work so I can jump on all the things I left unfinished and try to finish as much as possible before the end of the year!



Some of this unfinished business and things I want to do is:

• Couple of Graffiti for some friends here on Hive
• Some ideas of posts that I wanted to do (I even said a month ago that I will post in the upcoming days a post in HYBH about the Yayoi Kusama exhibition I went to see at the Tate Modern... and then more than a month has passed and I still haven't posted LOL... I'll fix that ASAP - I also remember @livinguktaiwan being super excited about it and asking to share, I do feel kinda guilty to have let you down there, maybe you were waiting my post and it never came, Sorry! I promise that I will post it at some point before the end of the year! 🙏)
• Get back to run at least 2-3 days a week
• Get back to do some phisical excercises and get fit, eat well and start a meditation practice! Mindfulness!
• Practice gratitude and kindness, and try to look inside for happiness and well being rather than searching for it outside, this may get some positive energy and thoughts in my head and I may have some material for a #thoughtfuldailypost, I already had a very positive morning, and today I feel grateful for: (1) I'm at work being able to do whatever I want because of the sheer amount of nothing, nada, nisba that I have to do today, and I'm also the only one in the office LOL (2) I had a great chat with a friend this morning and it filled me with hope and positive energy, now I need to be able to channel this energy towards myself rather than wasting it outside like I always do! Mindfullness!
  (3) I am alive! I am healthy-ish (lol) and I have a family behind me that loves me and supports me! (4) I still haven't gone mad in this Matrix Simulated World we living in! (5) I can listen to music like this everyday...

Oh, when will the starters
Make way for the bench? Hm
And when will the Martyrs
Get Justice for their flesh?

In one of my previous posts I talked about London local artist Mr.Cenz and also showed you my personal collection of R2 GraffitiKingz NFTs and he is one of the 4 artists featured in the collection. I think his art is SICK! and deserves to be used as my main entry! Also it was pretty cool to find a graffiti IRL of something that I have in NFT form, weird LOL

This IMHO may be the best work I posted here today after the Mr.Cenz main entry graffiti! Some may even like it more, I think this is an ad for that place?! IDK maybe LOL But this work is simply amazing and If I had managed to snap a better picture (without cars and with a better angle) I may have used this as my main entry! Only because I already used once a Mr.Cenz work as my main entry and I did win with it as well 😎 It was a massive mural even bigger than this one with the astronaut! 👀

To end today's graffiti contest post, which is longer than usual, I want to show you some London Skyline pictures snapped the same day as we continued with our walk, taken from The Millennium Bridge, both sides of the river!

Not the best Skyline pics I know, I definitely have better pictures, and now that I think about it this is another idea of a post that I wanted to do, I even started a draft like 5 months ago LOL I will try to finalise it before 2022 😂
