Sickboy's Resin Temples (Sept 24-drop)
PRESS: (1999 - 2009) Ten years from the day that he first decided to spray a red and yellow temple instead of his name on walls from here to Bangkok, leading UK graffiti artist Sickboy has immortalised his iconic temple as a collectable 3D resin hand-painted model.
The highly-anticipated hand-cast models are available as a four-strong series representing Love, Peace, Happiness and Death, with each edition a super-exclusive run of 25 featuring an emblem of one of Sickboy’s signature symbols: a heart, a peace sign, an acid face or a skull.

Sickboy-says: “Nobody said it was going to be easy, and this definitely wasn’t. I’ve been laughed at by model makers, sneered at by spotty adolescents from Games Workshop, breathed in enough turpentine to keep a glue sniffer happy for years, and ruined my best shirt at the printers. But I couldn’t let this one slip through the net.”
ABOUT SICKBOY:
A leading artist to emerge from Bristol’s infamous graffiti scene, Sickboy’s humorous works have cemented his place in the upper echelons of the British street art movement. He is one of the first UK artists to use a logo in place of a tag, and his red and yellow street logo known as 'The Temple' can be seen on walls and wheelie bins worldwide. A long-serving artist with Pictures on Walls, Sickboy has built up one of the largest bodies of street art works in UK history which has led to him being tipped by the leading financial press as one of the street art movement’s most investable artists. His temples, Save the Youth slogans and audacious stunts – including the caged heart installation dropped outside the Tate Modern last year – have landed him global recognition.
