    Graffiti and Street Art

    December 15, 2014

    Happy new week everyone. Woa! What weather we’ve been having here in London. Cold (mild for December), crisp and sunny. The perfect combo! On one hand that’s wonderful. Of course, there’s the worry about climate change and what it’s doing to our planet.

    After an incredibly stressful week I had this real urge to go and fill up my creative well. A long and colourful walk was much needed. One is never far away from incredible inspiration in London. The city is bustling with creativity and visual fodder. One such fodder is graffiti and street art. I’m proud to live in a city where this form of expression is welcome and in abundance. I already blogged about graffiti in Berlin.

    Here’s some I found in Camden Town.

    How striking is this tribal figure? It really made me stop in my tracks.

    Ok, maybe a little on the macabre side but I loved the colour combinations. Reminded me of spring clothes. What do you say?
