Another prolific animal drawer who is easy to recognise is Portuguese artist Roa, he has a lot of work in Hackney. Only the head remains of his beaver in Hackney road....

...which is the complete opposite of his rabbit, a bit further along Hackney road, whose head is being obscured by Ivy

This last one of a dog taking a dump is in Brockley south London, and is part of a brilliant idea where Dulwich Picture Gallery commissioned graffiti artists to do their own versions of famous paintings owned and displayed in the gallery, out and about on the streets of Dulwich

The plaque on the wall above my bike gives the details

The wily fox seems very popular in street art world, maybe the artists associate with the cunning and having to have your wits about you.

Personally, out of all the animals my favourites are probably these by Irony and Boe, the animals have facial expressions that really brings them to life, magic.

And if like me you grew up watching endless repeats of 'The Goonies', this is for you. This is a JXC piece of Chunk from that film, doing the 'truffle shuffle', if you don't remember here's the clip

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5whaRkuipU
And the piece on Miller St, Camden
View attachment 364390
If the measure of a stars fame is the largest number of street art pics (of those I've found so far), the biggest star in London, surprisingly, is Mr Potato Head^_^, seen here in Chalk Farm Estate
View attachment 364376
and here in Latimer Rd, alongside a Banksy
View attachment 364377
Here's a Banksy in Ladbroke Grove, 'preserved' in perspex.

View attachment 364374
And here's a moving tribute wall to Charlie Burns, not famous but to a local East End character who, if he'd have written an autobiography I'd have read it, this is worth a read:

There's some other good musician ones, Lewisham boy Maxi Priest in Lewisham

I love this Salvador Dali one, complete with floppy clock oozing onto the pavement (I hope you read that correctly). Located on shutters in Commercial Road, by artist Zabou
DgTzvyh.jpg

Zabou also did this just off Essex Road
VpOb0Ky.jpg

This on Ada St Hackney
O3tVUL0.jpg

And this on Hackney Rd

Edit and I've since found another Zabou one, of Sid Vicious on Wheeler St, see page 4.

Jimmy C also has a distinctive style I see often
These 2 on Whitby St, E1

Brixton
xsLU42e.jpg

And this on street off Brick Lane
3FjTXHd.jpg

And this on Brick Lane itself
y5MI7kx.jpg

Notice above this one someone has scrawled 'Nat has Herpes'. Funnily enough immediately next to the Zabou picture on Ada St in Hackney shown above, is this with the same scrawl that I've posted recently and chuckled about.
7Clvfit.jpg

So I thought this person is really hacked off with Nat, and they seem on a crusade to rubbish Nat's name across the whole city, a bit harsh when they could probably just get a pill for that or something. Anyway then I came across this which sheds some light on, and deepens the mystery simultaneously^_^. Apologies for link to such a hideous rag: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ed-Twitter-users-send-bizarre-slur-viral.html

Here's a Malcolm X in Star Yard off Brick Lane. Both these have already been painted over.
W0hTql3.jpg

The one on the right is by Dreph, who has recently been involved in painting images of women of African and Caribbean origin who are not given the visibility they deserve, and is paying tribute to ordinary women who do extraordinary work for the betterment of their communities and society. More info here:https://www.theguardian.com/artandd...e-to-the-streets-in-pictures-street-art-dreph
I'd stumbled across this one a while ago in Penge and was wowed at the size, detail and bright colours, the necklace is amazing, and the colours match my bike brilliantly^_^
Q6Sy4Vd.jpg

And in the corner next to that, is this^_^
xj6wJVW.jpg

I've since found the others from the above article, this on Fashion St off Brick Lane
P5bKLZR.jpg

This is in Star Yard, painted over the Malcolm X above
l2ZSag8.jpg

And the shutters were'nt properly open on this one on Commerical St.
9f88bjq.jpg

I've also found these ones by Dreph, this in Croydon

And this on Hackney Rd
