I did the Cobblemonster bike ride today. Its a 35 mile Paris-Roubaix tribute taking in a number of London's cobbled streets, and a series of south London climbs, finishing in Brixton with the closing stages of the pro race on the big screen. The pro's were lucky and had no rain, because its all over here. A fun day out and in between sections of pave I managed to find a new Mr Cenz.

Gah, someone's already tagged over the Stephen Hawking mural... Can't people leave something nice alone? Hope the original artist reworks it and that Network Rail put perspex over it.

@Reynard boo, the Stephen Hawking one I posted in Leake St tunnel is gone now too, but at least we got to see them before they were lost.
I grabbed a few today on my day off . This in Pedley St in Hackney.

Ah drat...

Makes me glad we've got this thread as some pieces are just so transient. Irritatingly, it are the better / more meaningful ones that get covered up.

There's a brilliant and uplifting little movie on the Inspiring City website that I heartily recommend watching in full, called 'changing the world one wall at a time'. Its about a campaign called 'education is not a crime' and is heart warming and inspirational, contains some great art works, launched a worldwide campaign, and is worth sharing..

The Inspiring City blog linked above also had an article about Anna Jaxe, who seems to have a fascination with music, and it said she had recently done a 12 layer stencil on the side of the MAP cafe in Kentish Town. After work this afternoon I went and got it. On the way I saw this mischievous spray can wielding child that looks a bit like Jimmy Bullard

And here's Anna's 'Joanna' (cockney rhyming slang for piano)

A great video, on a though provoking subject, and interesting to see various artists at work. Well worth a watch.

Just saw a Guardian article about scandalised residents in Stockholm when this 5 storey penis was unveiled. They're going to have to take it away...

What a giant cock up.....!

Thanks for watching, its great, it made my afternoon when I watched it on Friday.

Its maddening, saddening and inspiring the risks those teachers and students had to take to try and further themselves. I loved that even the mural that was painted over in the USA did not have a negative effect, it sparked local dialogue and hit the papers, and helped raise the campaigns profile even more. And I was whooping with delight at now matter where in the world the works were, passers-by were compelled to stop what they were doing and go and congratulate the artists, and to try and learn more.

@deptfordmarmoset . Here's another penis I saw today, seen here clutching the 2nd amendment in one hand, and a shooter in the other.

And here's a Donald like alternate reality. This goldfish must be good at darts, as it appears to have won a human at the local fairground, and is taking him home in a clear plastic bag.
