Funnily enough I run a t-shirt reviews blog and was a little torn as to which blog I should feature the graffiti artist Bleach’s tees in, but as this gives me a chance to showcase some of his stunning art I think I’ve made the right choice. Bleach as with many graffiti artists is particularly hard to track down on the Net so it’s probably a good thing I’m writing this post, the best place to learn about the artist is at the excellent UK urban art site UKadapta (don’t ask me why the homepage is in Japanese – all I know is there’s an English version of the site so you won’t need to take a crash course in a highly complicated language).

Born and raised in the suburbs of London Bleach aka Leigh Kenna, there’s in fact little out there to prove the guy even exists, but he does and so does his work, and most substantially. Bleach has strong ties with The Mutoid Waste Company having collaborated on various shows in the past under the banner of Mutate Britain. There are two more slight traces of Bleach on-line (of his own making) at his Myspace page and at his own website at www.3lsewhere.net where I tracked down a limited collection of his amazing if not bizarre t-shirt designs.

You can (if you’re lucky) catch works by bleach around London as well as a few pieces in France and Spain so do keep an eye out for Bleach!
