Note: The London Police is an art collective started in 1998 when two English geezers headed to Amsterdam to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of Holland's capital. They were part of a small group of artists at the end of the last century that helped pioneer the street art movement. After a few years of mixing travelling and making art in the street TLP began to receive worldwide recognition for their contribution to the graffiti/street art movement. Some 22 years on TLP have amassed more than 100 shows and events in over 35 countries and their street work continues to pop up everywhere they go. The London Police are Chaz Barrisson who draws the iconic ‘LADS’ character and Bob Gibson whose tight portrait and architectural illustrations help marry the two styles to create an endearing, exciting fantasy world...
