Street Art

[booze and cake]

Here's my discoveries from the last few days. Firstly some musicians, Dayyyyyvid Bowie and Mick Jagger.

Loving this

These 2 are next to each other on Victoria Dock Rd

And here's another Run one

I'm off out for the evening now, but tomorrow I'm finally going to start the thread about a ride to visit some of these.

A few from near the Regents canal near Kingsland Rd today.

I've also started a street art ride thread, see here:

Please put your name on that thread if you fancy coming along

The back yard of the Pawleyne Arms in Penge has some good ones.

.....and in nearby Birkbeck there's a new Irony and Boe one. I'm a big fan of their work, and this is another great one.

Spotted this dude just off Gosforth high street as I was walking to the Metro earlier. Signed by "OW" who I'll have to look up as I've no idea who that might be.

This is a huge photograph on the wall inside Cullercoats Metro. Looks like it's meant to be some kind of red carpet affair at a different station, but it's gone quite wrong by the state of the carpet and the track. Most of the Metro art has a plaque explaining what's going on but I was in a rush so didn't look. Next time!

That is strange @AndyRM, like they put it down for the Queen but she never showed, but they're still hopeful she may come......or possibly its a sick joke advertising campaign as Southern Rail say they are rolling out the red carpet treatment for their customers

Excellent thread, which I've just read from start to finish. Here's a not very good pic of some junction boxes on the outskirts of Brighton:

Martin Luther King alongside the Canal de l'Ourcq on the way to Paris. The next few are from there too:

Malcolm X

Urban landscape. With primate.

French comedian Coluche, who stood for President in the 80s (backed by Charlie Hebdo magazine)

On the side of a swimming pool. Obvs.

As is this.

While this ws seen on an FNRttC in Romford (I think).

Somewhere, I've got some phone snaps of Malmesbury Zoo, but in the meantime, here's a link:

Excellent stuff @Tim Hall, thanks for that.

And I found new Shok-1 piece today too.

Found a couple more in My Mighty Photo Archive, while looking for something completely different:

Building being eaten by a Huge Cat on the canal by the Olympic Park.

The man who lives next door to the Huge Cat.

A flying pig in Malmesbury. Some kind of comment I'm guessing about the major employer there and manufacturer of vacuum cleaners.

Street art? Street poem? Down near Brick Lane I think.

The Virgin Mary on a Donkey in Whitstable.

Graffiti? Minimalist Street Art? Made me smile anyway. Eton Square, or somewhere round there.

If anyone can make pigs fly its Dyson I suppose. Good spot with the sign. I remember seeing a no entry sign near Angel a few yeas ago that had been converted so it looked like to a man carrying a plank, I'll have to go and see if its still there. French artist Clet Abraham specialises in customising signs:
