When I started photographing the street-art around London (particularly in Camden Town) I had no idea that I would be so busy at it. It’s a labour of love and I’m frequently impressed by the level of creativity shown by the artists. These new pieces by Autone1, Reb.MWC, DRT and Trust Icon have appeared almost…

Something to get you through Tuesday
I went for a walk during my lunch break and spotted a few street art pieces that I haven’t photographed yet. Enjoy.
Brick Lane Mega-Gallery Pt. 2
Here are the street art pieces we saw on our trip to Brick Lane last weekend. I will say nothing more and let the work speak for itself… again.

Making good use of a lemon
I broke my spectacles yesterday evening (which was bad). Luckily there is an optician near my work (which is good). I took the glasses to get fixed and was told I’d have to wait an hour for the repair (which was bad). I decided to go for a walk to kill the time and was…
I Remember the Future
I’m reluctant to say that we’re seeing a golden age of street -art in Camden Town, but there is certainly a great amount of spectacular work appearing here on almost a daily basis. This afternoon I spotted an excellent work from Gonzo design cowboy ensemble, Id-iom,as well as a fantastic collaborative work from Itaewon, Autone,…
Constantly redecorating the city’s walls
Only last week, I posted about the unprecedented rate that new art-works are appearing around Camden Town. Sure enough, I went for a short walk around town this afternoon and quickly spotted a few new pieces. It is almost beyond question at this point that if you’re a street-artist wanting to get yourself noticed around…
Blink and you’ll miss it (Gallery)
The street-art scene in Camden Town is developing so rapidly these days that keeping up with the enormous number changes that occur in the area each week has become an almost full-time occupation. The rate at which new artworks are being installed and older pieces painted over has never been so high. As any one…
All Things Must Pass
A new month, a new mural in Stucley Place. This piece was installed by French artist, Ador, with the help of his newfound collaborator and friend, Sémor. The work reminds me of an article and its accompanying illustration that I recently saw in the Wall Street Journal. The article, entitled When Instagram Culture Ruins a Vacation…
I am an Emperor
Simon & Garfunkel sang in The Sound of Silence that “the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.” I don’t know much about all that, but I happened upon this poem chalked onto the boarded up window of a condemned building on Camden High Street this afternoon. The grammar certainly leaves a…
Even More Street Art in Camden Town
Opinion may differ as to whether this kind of work should be considered Art, but if you ever happen to spend some time down the grim backstreets of North London, then I am sure will agree that the place could do with a bit of colour.
A Long Walk Through The City
Soon we found ourselves in Bloomsbury where around every corner you half expect to find T.S Eliot or Virginia Woolf stood in discussion with one of their literary acquaintances from that little bourgeois social circle of theirs. When Americans see London in their movies, says my old man, this is the London they are seeing.
