Winner Fat Buddha Sketch Battle 5 - 'hectorr' This one lost, no offence to hectorr but this one is a classic, this guy has art skills without doubt, my absolute favourite of all 10 sketch battles, this could easily be on a t/shirt with kids paying £20 a pop, an absolute gem

Winner Sketch battle 4 - 'Clickoo' Clickoo's first win in the sketch battle, but not his last, great use of colour and very tidy work and amazingly clean lines, one of my faves, i love the drips and like the use of the arrows.

Spend to much time on youtube and you will come across all manner of cool things and some not so cool, these human beatboxes fall into the category of very cool, guys who can do such cool stuff need applauded.

Fat Buddha Sketch Battle 3 winner - 'Hectorr' My fave of the 4th sketch battle was this lil piece by 'thehitcher', good use of colour and its good to see the use of characters, makes the graffiti more artistic and you can tell this guy has talents if he applies it to his art

Fat Buddha Sketch Battle 2 Winner - 'Hectorr' 2nd Fat buddha sketch battle seen the mighty hectorr wade in with this character driven piece, i like it, like the character.

Local Scottish Graffiti website has a forum where kids give me pelters for not being a graffiti writer, the verdict was 'the guy from buddha is a pr**k, (fill in the blanks), yes truly terrible language. I decided that the sketch battle they have every week was in need of a bit of spicing up, there was no real competition as there was no prize for the winner. I offered to aponsor the sketch battle and got it renamd to 'Fat Buddha Sketch Battle' and give away prizes every week, just a set of pens just now. There has been 2 upsides, 1 the standard has risen by quite a degree and secondly i no longer get slagged as much. Loser of Fat Buddha Sketch Battle 1, this was my fav...

Had some good messages about the last set of photos, so decided to bring you some more, keep the mesages coming, its amazing the lack of awareness David LaChapelle's work has, seem to have a whole new set of admiring fans here. But do pop over to his website and check his work out. http://www.davidlachapelle.com/home.html Lil kim really tries to stetch the boundaries of her sexuality and both these shots work to play with the glamour of the brands, painting your body does the trick, with the image of woman as sxual objects, ie doing a shot as blow up doll with mouth ready.
