STICKS & STONES

Philanthropist and jack-of-all-trades Josh Fanning instigated this enormous typographic mural project, acquiring US street artist ABOVE to paint alongside an amazing crew including Chris Edser, Tristan Kerr & ANKLES.

The inspired message read: STICKS & STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT WORDS WILL ALWAYS SAVE ME, which became an unexpected prophecy when ABOVE slipped and broke the shoulder bone on his painting arm. Aawwgh shit.

Props to photographer Jon VDK.
