Things I’ve seen….

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

Not everyone loves London 2012 clearly

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

Things I’ve seen…

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

Bed Stik… Another one for the collection

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

And another

And another

One more

Final one

Insane Felans Cartel

First of all this is the best name for a graf team, I can not find much about them so will keep looking. Or can anyone else help?

A little bit of insanity does you good

Loving this because of the wide use of colours, bit like a rainbow on acid, which is hardly surprising given the name.

This 2011 piece is nicely hidden away off Bethnal Green Road, but on the same street as some pretty average pieces, which only makes this even better. As always art pickers, find it for yourself, do a little mooching.

 

Things I’ve seen…

London has been a bit of a temperamental bitch this weekend, one minute raining cats and dogs, the next nervous sunshine, then mardy winds. One minute I was wishing for an umbrella and the next needing sunglasses. So this morning SF went out for a bike ride swearing sunglasses, a hat, waterproofs and a vest underneath. Crazy times.

Random weather gave these pictures lots of different looks.

The Wick of Hackney - Retro too

Everything in the East end has to be a bit retro doesn’t it?

Yellow alien heads

Like the Simpsons, if they were possessed

Bloody Krays

 

More Sweets than you can stomach

 

Anyone reckon this might be Sweet Toof's studio?

Mr Toof gets around London but he makes sure he keeps it interesting, it is not just simple walls or shop shutters. This guy doesn’t mind going up high to put his mark on the LDN skyline, he doesn’t mind getting in a boat too and he likes to go out and about finding some rather obscure parts of the city.

Big Toof... tiny mouth

I think Sweet Toof is thinking to the future, the Olympics are a few months away and his will be the most visible art in London, it also sticks in the mind the big pink lips and huge gnashers meaning that people will be able to chart it across their journey to Stratford.

Even the tag is intricate

Expect to see another guerilla stunt like he did with the Metro last year…

Things I’ve seen…

Long wall of paint...

Few of my favourite shots from today, mooching down the canals of London in the East. One entire wall of graf which was about 18ft tall, here are a few pieces….

Silkey & TLY TRP

TRP

This is the best thing I have seen for ages…. madness

Not sure who it is but it's dead good

Plus this one I spotted around the corner

No idea... but looks nice

The Toasters…

If you live in LDN then you will have certainly seen a toaster or two on walls around the capital. They are a collective who tag, stencil and graf across the world. Pretty prolific too.

Hackney Road toasting

I don not know a lot about the guys… as yet. Waiting to hear more, anyone got any more info for me? Website? Flickr?

ROA exhibition out east right now kids…

I did not go ce soir, this was largely because I headed to Columbia Road and ended up having a drink with Gandalf’s Eastend younger balder funnier more laddy brother and my good pal who I know as Peter Pan.

Watership Down

In the meantime here is the link to ROA’s show

Lots of ROA’s stuff along Hackney Road, Tourists are always searching it out
