At least they were honest. This underpass has never really seen anything other than a marker pen from Whsmiths so this felt quite ground breaking. As I understand it. Saying it is not art may even qualify it for being it.
Black cock picture request

Yet another piece of word art (!). This bit of graffiti is in the mens toilet next to the quaint rose garden of Brockwell Park. The text is quite small but the message is clear. Or is it? What I find genius is that this joke is a development on the classic ‘call ____ for [...]
Inhaler customisation / making ventolin delivery cooler
011109 [November 1, 2009] – 23:16
Inhalers look so dull, brown for becontide, blue for ventolin. Yawn. When I was about 14 I had this idea to make cases for the canisters. Well, custom inhaler units in which you could swap the drugs. This photo is one of a few I made but I just threw it out. Note that the [...]
Dirty Language, Dirty Dancing

On seeing the graphic my sister was quick to respond; this quick snap sees her on form and in the correct position. A true natural, but did she read it? How could they write that? Globalised age? What is that exactly? Is the show about the Internet? Is this show a global phenomenon? I classify [...]
Another top sandwich from the wife
100909 [September 10, 2009] – 10:20
Regular readers will know of earlier examples of the best sandwiches, this is no different as yet again the Time verses Quality control knob is turned very firmly towards Time for this creation. There were 8 slices of ham stacked in this one. Yum. Well better to have than to have not.
Reclaim your street
220809 [August 22, 2009] – 00:30
This was taken the other week on leather lane, outside the newsagents near greggs at the north end. The pile was next to a group of workmen with digging implements. Leather lane has a lot of Market stalls, some with flowers and the like. I do not know who created this installation but either way- [...]
Camberwell graffiti
150809 [August 15, 2009] – 18:55
I love this graffiti, done on a buss stop in Camberwell opposite MacDonalds. I took it when walking to work in February when there was a lot of snow! Yes, uploaded rather late but who cares. “Police using some gadget to talk to people’s heads. Electronic harassment working with scientists.”
CAUTION : floating on air.

It could have been CUSHION but it isn’t. Can’t remember where I took this. But I did.
Chain entry control
050609 [June 5, 2009] – 21:32
I like the complex simplicity of this gate. Complex as it has moving parts which are hidden in the turret which I imagine is hard to get in and fiddle; and the channel for the chain when dropped as in the images. Nothing like the rather simple folding gates I saw all over japan [posts [...]
This will not release money
300509 [May 30, 2009] – 16:55
The phrasing on this vending machine made me chuckle. It seems to be wriiten in reaction to overhearing a conversation rather than a statement of fact. “hey let’s tilt the chocolate machine it will get scared and release the funds to meet our demands. Yeah.”
No advertising, the art of the remains…
050509 [May 5, 2009] – 12:25
Maybe I have written This before but i simply love the remains of advertising that you can occasionally see around london. Here are a couple of shots from 2007 or about then at Oxford Circus. Nice.

A small message next to a small set of steps in Venice. Funny Message.
Altered space – but did they realise it was typographic art?
240309 [March 24, 2009] – 10:30
Can’t help bit wonder if the person(s) who spent their time organising this modification planned it a long time in advance or did it bit by bit. The content suggests that it was done by people who may be associated with white vans and read the sun but somehow this looks too well executed to [...]
Horsefair till I Pie, or is it Die?
180309 [March 18, 2009] – 09:50
I love the execution of this piece. The sprayer has demonstrated a whole lot of skill regarding artistry, typography and most of all the powers of observation. This great work is not technically in the horsefair (1/2 mile away) and let’s be honest here – it is not the kind of place you would die [...]
Don’t piss in my corner
090309 [March 9, 2009] – 22:35
This is a wonderful idea. Although I have no evidence I am completely convinced of the function of this feature. This masonary oddity is at the height of your adverage set of knees and can be found in many many of the ‘prime’ corners around the narrow passages of Venice. The top will not take [...]
If you can read this you are gay

Kidderminster. A park fence. December 2008. Genius.
