Street art is abundant throughout Sheffield and across South Yorkshire; there is a wealth of talent and extraordinary skill across our region, brightening our streets and public spaces.
Here by Kid Acne celebrates how street art helps us find our way – whether providing a physical sense of place or sparking inspiration.
By following the arrows, wherever they may lead, you’re likely to encounter incredible, bold pieces of art that transform the everyday journey into something extraordinary.
The artist
Kid Acne
Ed Bradbury is a painter, print-maker, illustrator and emcee known professionally as Kid Acne – a pseudonym he chose for himself as “a spotty teenager” in the mid 1990’s.
His formative years were spent writing graffiti, self-publishing fanzines and making experimental Hip-Hop – invariably, illustrating and printing the record sleeves by hand. The culmination of these interests informed the development of his own unique aesthetic, which he has translated into innumerable graphics, product designs, installations, animations and silk screen editions.
