A few more random pictures from my wonderings around East London on a bicycle. Hackney Wick, Mile End and all the industrial estates that did not get raised to the ground because of these Olympic thingy ma jigs certainly house some great pieces of street scribbling and colouring in
Never a truer word said…

Skate-face
In amongst all this Olympic poppycock we seem to have dedicated a shed load of £££ on grown up sports, maybe forgetting the kids, not in Mile End mind. The Mile End Skate Park is packed with kids rain or shine. I like.
What I also like is that the place is adorned with graf, in the pool, the walls the floor, the benches. Everywhere.
Pool party
The place looks pretty good too, a real urban hangout, even if you can’t skate, BMX or any other urban sport, you can go and spray or tag.
Paint and skate
I do not know any of the artists and in my mind I like to think that are by kids, the next generation of painters who will be taking to the streets, canals and eventually galleries of London and beyond
Say what you will about Bristol’s finest but he makes sure people do not forget him, every new piece he stencils in London, Bristol, New York, LA or any other city for that matter.
I am not that fussed by Banksy’s work on the basis that I do not think he is doing too much to push the boundaries, bring the humour or be particularly political. The piece I spotted today is pretty, no denying, the colours make it something very easy on the eye but…..
Woe is Banksy
The idea of an artist with a ball and chain around his ankle, is he for real? In today’s day an age artists are hardly constrained, street artists can graf pretty much where they like within reason and they are making a packet from it. And why the hell not, I think they should. My question to Mr. Banksy is how the bejesus are you being constrained?! I’d wager you are sitting pretty pretty me ol mucker. Those shows in NYC and London, celeb fans such as Brangellina, the film. Banksy must be comfortable enough to be a bit more imaginative.
Also I know that is his style but something makes me wonder if he could do anything else….

Bird Cream – Dscreet
Dscreet, long term collaborator of Sweet Toof and an artist who pops up quite often around London, the impossible to miss owls keep watch over many corners of the earth, from Brooklyn to Melbourne.
This piece is cool as it takes a little bit of of Sweet Toof and then Dscreet takes over, It is called Bird Cream and was a 2009 piece. Nice that it is still in good nick.
Find it for yourself in Bethnal Green near the rail lines
This is pretty much a weekly section on StandardFact, although I would like to say this is not dedicated to one artist and we will be making sure that other artists get a look in…. providing they up the ante
Big mouth
Sweet mouth
Any trips along the canal, on the Olympic route and around the industrial estates, Sweet Toof is seen….
Roller toof
Peg toof
He even made a cameo appearance on the Apprentice this week
Chance Street, East London, possibly one of the best streets in LDN to find street art, there is another iconic piece from Roa, there is tagging galore and there are loads of other bits and pieces you can spot, even my old mates id-iom have sprayed the wall before.
Unmistakably Roa
This stencil piece is cool, old school motorbike with side car, it won’t last that long so head down for a wee gander.
Biking Chance
According to Shop Talk it is Crycle Collective, I can not find any more info… anyone shed any light?
Side car action
Mile End, by the skate park where the youts dem ride their boards. It was peeing with rain so could only get a couple of shots.
Queen Worser
If Danny Dyer was a graf artist he would be called Melt… or Dry Melt, this was a moist melt…
Dry Melts
It could potentially be brilliant, but equally it could easily be a disaster of gargantuan proportions, most Londoners are generally positive about it but not everyone.
Artistic protest
In the Eastend it is probably because the Olympic juggernaut has ploughed through wherever it pleases and not always considered local residents and businesses.
Monkey protest
One thing that Seb Coe and his cronies can rely on is that the Euros in Poland and The Ukraine will be worse without a doubt
More random pieces from my mooching around London. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions on who they are by. As they say every day is a school day
Helmet hoodlum
Not quite Facejacker
Monkey bidness
Shhhhhhleep
Stik can be seen all over the East end, another one to add to the collection. Sleepy Stik is a cute Stik. Again the shape of the body and minimal face still manages to convey some form of emotion. My stick drawings are not even suitable for Hartbeat, I’ll stick to scribbles and doodles
