‘Yes We Can’ group show @ Atom Gallery

Here at id-iom we have taken our collective foot off the pedal when it comes to the art game but that changed recently when Teddy Baden got in touch to say he had a show coming up at Atom Gallery featuring the humble spray can

Can you guess what classic album I've been listening to recently? I've even gone so far as to create an imaginary alternative album cover. If I put their logo on there it would just make it too easy. I'm pretty sure you must know already...

Some people claim they don't 'get' art. Sometimes I'd agree and I fear this may be one of those times. I feel that our delicate and nuanced message may be lost in the complexity of this work. I guess that's up to the viewer to decide.

If I was a spaceman however I'd be doing some fun stuff like shooting lasers at stuff.

He was created for another project that never quite came to fruition and he's on classy A2 Somerset paper. Drop us a coded message if you need him in your life

We haven’t come across any good potential instalments for ‘Other People’s Graffiti’ for a while but that was quickly remedied when I spotted this little beauty whilst on the bus. Someone’s definitely got some beef. What can we deduce?

Today's piece has been created on classy A2 Somerset paper using the magic of stencils, spray paint and imagination. Drop us a line if you need this sorry soul on your wall or he'll be slowly making his way to our website in due course.

The eyes have it

Just look at the sheer terror in those eyes. There’s only one thing that can bring on such existential dread in the modern human - a dwindling phone signal in a remote area in an emergency. Although quite what constitutes an emergency can vary considerably

I was asked what my intentions were when I showed this to the other half of id-iom. I thought it was obvious. I was redesigning the logo for the 80's comic version of Black Lightning, an African-American superhero. It'll be on our website in due course (https://t.co/JLV12pVMxm)

Time catches up with us all. Created on classy A2 Somerset paper using the magic of spray paint, stencils and imagination. Our skull is now looking for its forever home. Drop us a line if that's with you or it'll be on our website in due course (https://t.co/JLV12pVMxm) #art

This the return of the space cowboy. Interplanetary good vibe zone. If that hasn't started an earworm then I don't know what will…

Here we have newly appointed Head of Facilities, Lillian, checking the post to make sure it arrives at its intended recipient. Sadly cats aren’t the best readers on the planet although even if they were they’d never let you know.

Given that the controversial live action remake of The Little Mermaid has just been released we deemed it a good time to remind the world of our take on that particular fairy tale.

Consider the lilies

Maybe it’s just a sign of getting old but we’ve been painting a lot more flowers recently. And today it seems is no exception…

'I told them it was a Banksy' was produced way back in 2009 on cardboard using a variety of means. It's now been framed and has been sitting in pride of place in it's forever home for a few years now. Although it is still somehow relevant...

It's always nice to get pictures of our artworks in their forever homes - especially when they are hanging out in pride of place in a fully equipped home bar/man cave. 'Isle of You' was produced as a wedding gift for a couple of friends on the #IsleofMan.

Unleashing creativity in some unsuspecting office types in the name of team building is a mostly enjoyable way to spend the day - especially when the forecasted thunder storms failed to turn up...

Another day and another trip to Bromley to brighten up the High Street as a part of their High Street Fest. This week's mural was an interactive mural...
