My Fair London – Street Art

TGIF people! I feel a little guilty for missing my usual Friday ‘My Fair London’ post last week, but I’m hoping to make up for it by showing you some A.M.A.Z.I.N.G London street art! I can’t believe that I have lived here for over 6 years and I still get excited when I spot a Banksy! Europe in general has some very impressive street art but London definitely has my favourites! Below are some photos taken in the Waterloo Station underpass during the Banksy-organised Cans Festival. Pretty cool huh? The third image is my favourite…

    Wow... what awesome eye candy. I love street art! Very cool. Thanks so much for your comment (I can't publish it yet as I'm in the middle of migrating my blog to Wordpress today). I did want to tell you that I just saw a large scale quatrefoil rug on Overstock.com. I have no idea if it would work, but thought I'd mention it. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-tufted-World-Classic-Bluish-grey-Wool-Rug-8-x-10/5599305/product.html

    I loooove the lime green-is that a take on the hands from the creation mural on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? I think its so fun when street art takes these classical pieces of art and funkifies them, making them so bring and urban and now!

    I think street art can be really interesting. I sometimes wonder what the images mean, but I guess that's part of the allure.

    That's some seriously cool art - I must be walking round the wrong parts of London since most of the stuff I see is pretty - err - rubbish... ;-) xo
