After 3 weeks of intense painting I am very pleased to announce that my elephant - Frank, which I have been painting for the Elephant Parade London is now finished. He will be hitting the streets of the capital in early May.

Things are going well with the Elephant Parade and I start painting the full size beast on Monday 1st March in the elephant and castle shopping centre. You can keep up to date with all my progress and insight into the world of elephant painting on twitter @leinzart. I will be posting photos of the project from the start to the very end - so either pop along to the shopping centre and say hi - or follow me on here and twitter.

How are you doing? are you enjoying the weather?, well that’s enough about you for now. I just want to let you know that i have been working overtime on lots of new and exciting stuff: new stencils, ideas and building the Leinz online shop - so much to do and so little time.

If you are on the south Bank, London in a few weeks keep an eye out for a new Leinz stencil that will be appearing as if by magic on a wall near the river, so long as the feds don’t get to me first!

I also have some bad news - someone tried to get Leinz added to Wikipedia but they rejected it, a travesty i know so I have harden my resolve to work even harder to get myself wiki’d… if it’s the last thing i do.
