Over the past three years Upfest has raised over £12,000 for Nacoa (National Association for Children of Alcoholics).

To raise funds to support the charity, Upfest have organised a bunch of pieces of artwork from some highly respected urban and contemporary artists, available to you in a silent auction that ends on the 31st July 2010.

There is a wild collab organised by the ID-IOM guys, and a beauty from David Walker amongst other things.

ID-IOM have done a new bit of guerilla packaging, the ADE 651 bomb detection unit. Read more about the ADE 651 scandal (it’s a crazy story).

Text from back of pack:

By programming the detection cards to specifically target a particular substance, (through the proprietary process of electro-static matching of the ionic charge and structure of the substance), the ADE 652 will ‘by-pass’ all known attempts to conceal the target substance.

Can detect anything you want (including, but not limited to, guns, ammunition, drugs, truffles, zombies, robots, unicorns and bank notes) from a distance of up to 10 miles – through lead, water, rock or even from an airplane (up to an altitude of 5 kilometres).

Major-General Jehad al-Jabiri of Iraq’s Interior Ministry’s General Directorate for Combating Explosives has defended the device: “Whether it’s magic or scientific, what I care about is detecting bombs. I don’t care what they say. I know more about bombs than the Americans do. In fact, I know more about bombs than anyone in the world”.

ID-IOM have got a new blog up too, pop by to see what they’re up to. They have also released the video of a live stencil they did at the recent Metro, Clapham show 2010, ‘Come Here Often’.

The ID-IOM lads launched their first print Thursday last week at Metro, London (Clapham). Live painting, booze and decent weather made it a great night, the new limited print looks sick too. I’ll have a proper article on the new print later this week, but in the meantime, here are some photos from the night and a sneak look at the limited print.

Big shout to them for getting us down there, we’ll have a video sometime soon showing the making of this big piece below…

I first came across ID-IOM when they were selling their art, they’ve got some pretty sick stencils and graffiti-inspired pieces for sale on there (UK & Worldwide), I wanted to know more so here’s a bit of an interview with them!

WG – Where do you come from and where do/did you write?

ID-IOM – We are brothers (SHOLTO & HUGO) originally from the Isle of Man but now living in South London, UK. We use mainly stencils, paste-ups and artwork drops in our street work which we’ll put up pretty much wherever we like. It’s usually best to find somewhere so the piece has some kind of context or, failing that, somewhere high traffic or even perhaps somewhere you can take your time. It’s particularly fun if you are on your travels. Most of our work is up and around London but when we have the chance to leave we always take a few spraycans and paste ups with us.

WG – So what first got you into graffiti?

ID-IOM – We originally started doing t-shirts for nights out when we were students, then moved on to canvas and eventually out on to the street. I think we used to look around at some of the low grade graf and think either ‘that’s crap’ or ‘i could do better’. Whether or not ours is any better is, of course, open to debate but we generally try and put at least a little thought into what we are doing.

WG – What names do you use when you write?

ID-IOM – ID-IOM or perhaps JIM. It depends on how naughty we are being!!

WG – What graff artists out there do you admire or take influence from?

ID-IOM – There are plenty of people doing solid work. I’m interested in all forms of street art whether it be sculpture, graf, stencils, wheatpaste, etc. Graffiti Research Labs do some interesting work and Conor Harrington is very talented too.

Amy Winehouse favourite quote

WG – How long have you been doing your stencil art?

ID-IOM – As i said before we started doing t-shirt designs about 5 years ago and have just progressed from there. It’s taken a bit of time but neither of us are trained in any form of art.

WG – What influences your artwork?

ID-IOM – Music, pop culture, things you hear on the bus, books. We get our influences from pretty much anywhere and everywhere, it just depends if we can think of something to do with what we’ve come across.

WG – From looking at your website, you’re both pretty ambitious – what’s the ultimate goal?

ID-IOM – It would be nice to take over the world, or die trying.

WG – What do you think of the urban art scene at the moment?

ID-IOM – I think its lost some of it’s sparkle but there is still a lot of good stuff out there, you just have to look a little harder to find the real gems. I’m definitely down with the more experimental stuff, the mixing of mediums and the like but if it’s a good idea it doesn’t matter how its produced I suppose.

WG – What are your favourite type of trainers?

SHOLTO – I’ve got a bad-ass pair of customised black Nike Air Force One’s that are pretty sweet.

HUGO - I really like just plain white trainers, my favourite at the minute are a pair of Puma El Ray.

Cheers very much to the guys for taking the time to chat, you can see ID-IOM’s work for sale on Ebay, or check out their website, got some goodness on there. They also have a Flickr which is packed to the nuts with their paste-ups, stencil art and studio work too…
