I’ve photographed and posted quite a few pieces by Moleculahowl, so I thought that I might reach out to her and see if she might be willing to send me a piece of original artwork. I contacted her through Instagram and sure enough I just received this unique piece from her in the post this…

While The City Sleeps
This mural by Candie Bandita has just appeared in Stucley Place, Camden. The mural replaces the previous work that I posted a few months back. I’ll be heading to Shoreditch at the weekend to see some of the new work that has been put up since my last visit there. I can’t wait to show…

The Impossibility of Boredom in London
Although at times it can be a bit of a bummer (cramped trains, endless queuing, rotten winters, short summers, a disturbing obsession with class, the occasional damp personality), for the most part, living in London is pretty awesome. Before leaving Ireland to live in the Big Smoke, my Dad, taking inspiration from Samuel Johnson’s quip that…
