LONDON URBAN ART PART 1 - R.I.P. CANS FESTIVAL.

Some of my favourite street/urban/graffiti art that is currently adorning the streets of London. These pictures were taken around Hoxton, East London and from Waterloo where Banksy set up The Cans Festival (a play on the Cannes Film Festival). If you try and see the original Cans Festival art you'll need the skeleton's x-ray specs as it has been sprayed over by other graffiti and tags. A short and sweet picture of urban art.

I try and make a routine scan (minimum) one day a week, every week around East London. I'd say that either pieces are going up and being taken down, by 'collectors' or councils pretty damn quickly or the art is being funnelled somewhere else - galleries perhaps. Or maybe, just maybe the people are holding back for a mass stick up? Who knows. Keep them coming. That's what I'd say. And do say...

The more pieces that brighten up the grey streets of London the better! And other grey places in the UK obviously...
