Images are drawn and etched with much love and affection but totally lacking any sentimentality. I can almost smell the oil leaking from the abandoned car into the gritty road surface

I loved Spur Inn Yard. I wonder if the hotel that is now there will ever again make it worth a brush of paint or even a photo for that matter.

I remember the George Davis graffiti from when I was a child growing up in London in the seventies – particularly the ‘with every packet of Cornflakes’ that was added to ‘Free George Davis’.

Captures Hackney life beautifully. Are they for sale anywhere? Or any etchings by Peta Bridle?

I’ve visited the Thames Pub recently and am in the middle of a painting of the very same, sadly another victim ripe for development. Thanks for the post.

I particularly like the figure in ” Poplar Rates Rebellion Mural” with its sense of purpose – the slender border of light throws it into relief & gives movement. Thank you.
