Cheers for positive comments, and thanks for those @dickyknees there's some great ones there. New Zealand is definitely the farthest flung place we've had so far, you can't go any further without coming back again. The 4th pic on your first post is unmistakably by 'Phlegm' who has featured a few times in this thread.

I managed to get out for a quick 20 miler on the first day of 2018. The day after many folk gathered to paint the town red, I noticed even some signage in Lambeth North got in on the act.

There must have been a few hangovers today with many people singing the blues.

Most of us are back to work tomorrow, but for Rudolph the holidays are just beginning.

Small one I noticed on the way to work this morning....

Now there's a thing. You might remember I posted one a couple of weeks back of another modified no entry sign, with the horizontal bar forming a heavy load for the figure carrying it. It's along Cable Street. On the curtailed Fridays Ice Skating Tour just before Christmas I pointed it out to @User13710 who noticed there was another nearby, looking like a shifty face. I snapped it at the time, but haven't got around to uploading it yet. Is this a whole sub genre waiting to be discovered? Is it the work of one minimalist artist?

I saw one of those painted pebbles tucked up to a lamp post in Ely this morning - was painted up to look like a seven spot ladybird.

Annoyingly, I didn't have my handbag with me, so no phone to snap it.

@Tim Hall we've had a few now, @SteveF posted this one back on page 18 : https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/street-art.221565/post-4999289

I've also seen this one near Columbia Road flower market

I've no idea if they are by the same person. Following your sign posted back on page 18 I did post 2 links of french artist Clet Abraham who specialises in customising street signs. I'll post the link again here in case anyone wants to see them: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2015/may/21/clet-abraham-hacked-street-signs-in-pictures and some more here: http://untappedcities.com/2013/07/16/street-art-french-artist-clet-abraham-hacks-road-signs/

My mate Toby snapped this one for me today, cheers fella

A debut on this thread for my new bike, look at Eddy

And this is brilliant

Edit: I've only just noticed but this is possibly a new species entirely as this elephant appears to have 5 legs

New one in Stockwell

Thanks @User259, I recognise the style of that, it is the same as a squirrel I got on my trip to Bristol on page 18, see here:

It was done by Dzia who is a street artist from Belgium, which fits in with your spot

Am lovin' the one with the Psychos - nice touch with the Ludwig kit.

I've my doubts whether NK Fat Boy would be able to squat like Bowie / Mick Ronson - never mind the choons...

I saw this small one near Old St that made me laugh, revenge of the badgers! In my mind thats Jacob-Rees Mogg on the ground getting the good stamping he so richly deserves

And I found another ATM one in the Camley Street Nature Park in Kings Cross. The park is closed for a year for some kind of refit and was all locked up. Thankfully some gardener types were rummaging around the other side of the locked gates, so I asked nicely if they'd let me in briefly so I could photograph this as I've traipsed all over London getting his other ones, and they kindly agreed, thank you very much you excellent gardeners. This is a Daubenton or mouse eared bat, named after French naturalist Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton. This is the closest I've come to featuring in a pic myself, albeit in shadow form.

@Moderators , I would like to propose this thread to be elevated to Featured Thread status. I know B&C operates almost exclusively in London (odd trips to Bristol, but there again, trips to Bristol are usually odd) but it's encouraged people from other towns and countries to contribute. So it's not a London thing, it's a go out and show something you appreciate thing. Wherever.
