it started here ... i saw the sign, thought of the pun and drew a fly onto a postage label ...
i had to stretch to reach it ...

then i spotted another sign just opposite ...

i had to jump to stick the fly to it ...
and then a few more times to stick it flat ...

i began spotting signs all around the community ...

although some of them didn't last long ...

the local council help me spread my pun ...
i take them up whenever i spot an opportunity ...

i soon found other opportunities for a visual pun ...
but began to notice the rubbish everywhere ...

i visited berlin and began to interact with the art scene ...

there were lots of opportunities to express myself ...

so when i returned home i got a bit artistic ...

the local butcher's bins smelt something rotten ...
so i applied my fly stickers all over them ...

the stickers fell off, so i cut out a stencil ...
and the flies loved it ...

so i plastered them all over the smelly bins ...

i developed a second stencil and applied it where i saw fit ...

... a sunny rock looked like a good spot ...

... and especially over those smelly bins ...

meanwhile, my no fly tipping stickers were making an impression ...

i saw an opportunity to spread my wings ...

someone told me that spraying graffiti on a dumped object is not illegal ...
it didn't take me long to find something ...

around the corner there was another fridge ...
i thought 'this is easy, everybody's dumping things on the street just for me' ...

someone noticed and ripped the doors off it ...
presumably saatchi and saatchi ...

i went big on a bit of wasteland ...
i liked the near/far perspective from the road ...

a site due for demolition gave me a chance to practise shinning up a ladder ...

this was a true gift ...

i started to organise my flies ...

i might have carted this away myself, if i could ...
still, i like the idea of displaying my message in the public arena ...

i couldn't believe anyone could provide such a rich canvas in the centre of st werburghs ...
it kept me busy for ages ...

the people who fly poster display no appreciation of art and take any opportunity to plaster the community ...

i thought i'd improve the site with some fly posters of my own ...

the opportunity arose to get more artistic with a site-specific installation at the closed chocolate factory ...

the project allowed for specific choco pun fun ...

a mattress became my canvas ...

it feels good to mark your territory ...
this is a nice sunny spot on a local route i pass regularly ...

the fridges kept getting dumped on the streets ...
i was getting into my job ...

i thought i'd attract attention to recycling opportunities ...

the chance to subvertise was too much ...
this ad was a gift ...

fly tipping is not the only problem in our neighbourhood ...

fly posters offer lots of opportunities to paste my art in place of advertising ...

the m32 cuts right through easton, producing areas devoid of life ...
so i added some life to it ...

the council put up more and more no fly tipping signs ...

rubbish is attracted to these signs like flies to ...

motorboy provided me with a chance to double up on the fun ...

i think fly posting sites offer more than just an opportunity for words ...
i like the idea of communicating through the image ...

this is a true fly poster ...

and this is true fly posting ...

it gets treated just like all the others ...
it is transient ...

just because we have nothing for sale doesn't mean we have nothing to advertise ...

some people have no respect for art ...

i have fly posters of my own ...

together we develop the game of hoarding chess ...

it starts to get really interesting ...

and then the big boys come and ruin it all ...
