Street art: Red dog paste-up

This fella appeared at Kingston Shops a couple of weeks ago. His location close to the ground and simple design means he’s pretty inconspicuous, so it was a bit of a surprise to discover him. 

Street art: Troubling turkeys

These images are dated now. I expect the actual works would have completely disintegrated since I first took these photos in late 2014. I recall how unexpected they were, pasted-up alongside various stencils-with-political-messages and other graffiti in an otherwise desolate alley behind Kingston Shops.

Street art: Bill Murray paste-up

With a somewhat uncanny yet irreverent nod to my month spent in Tokyo trying to emulate Scarlet Johansson in Lost in Translation (without the all-expenses-paid room at the Park Hyatt but with a pair of suitable pants for lounging – someone should really tell that girl about Uniqlo) my local shops welcomed me home with this surprise portrait of Bill Murray.

Street art: Paste-up at Megalo

Have you seen this guy? I’m not sure if he’s a commissioned work or just some great thing an artist did for us while we were sleeping. I see him everyday when I go past on the bus coming home from work and I like the idea that he’s standing guard and watching over us.

Street art: Stickers

I started noticing these around Kingston shops and now keep seeing them everywhere.

I like the detail and precision of the line drawing, as though someone’s doodled them with a pencil.

They’re usually stuck in out of the way places and surprise you when you’re waiting at the traffic lights or staring aimlessly at some ugly piece of urban infrastructure.
