Last weekend saw the second instalment of Secret Walls’ Black Book Battles, at the Book Club in Shoreditch, hosted by McBess.

The Black Book Battles started last month in an event hosted by Hicks. The intimate event is part of a mission to find new artistic talent and to get artists used to the battle format. The two hour session had everyone doodling and battling against one another under the guidance of Secret Walls veteran McBess.

The next event is Saturday 25th of May and will be hosted by Conzo. Tickets can be found here, so if you’re an artist who fancies getting involved in Secret Walls this is a great way to get to know everyone.
