Some more street-art

As I have said before there is so much street-art and grafitti that it would be impossible to bring you it all, but here are some more pieces that I have picked up over the last few days

Chrome 'n' Black - Redchurch St. This has been there for ages and deserves to stay aas long as possible. I presume it's by Chrome 'n' Black, the Graf shop that is nearby.

Unknown artist - Redchurch St. This little guy is great, he kinda reminds me of me when I was in school and I had absolutely nothing on my mind.

And at last there is some decent Graf!

There is a legend in Grafitti called Vaughn Bode (pronounced BO-DAY). Bode was a cartoonist from the '60's that invented Cheech Wizard, Junkwaffel and a myriad of other characters and worlds. It is good to see that his influence in Graf is still going strong. Here are a couple of recent pieces that use some of his characters.

Apologies for the pics being dark but you can lighten them in photoshop etc.

This artist really impresses me. He/she does comissions all over London, and also (I presume) illicit pieces. The one with the Burka is on the side of a Bangladeshi restaurant on Brick Lane and I would be surprised if they got permission for this piece. It is a very powerful piece in my view because of the location and the messgae involved.

Unknown artist, piss-alley (not it's real name!) off Brick Lane. And who can resist a chekky little sperm!

I don't know if I'm right about this, but this reminds me of the shape of Africa made from skulls. If so, this is a very powerful piece. I wouldlike to meet the artist to ask about this.

Well, that's all for now. Please become a follower and leave messages as well.
