Stik will be painting a wall in Dulwich Park today. The end wall of the building next to the bowling green, opposite the children's playground. A class from the Hamlet school is coming to watch and possibly participate between 2 and 3 if its not pouring with rain. It was surprisingly easy to get permission for this, even Southwark council loves Stik's work!

How completely awesome!


Dulwich should be honoured, his manages to convey expression and emotion in such few brush strokes


he should be commended not vilified, his work is thoughtful, not thoughtless and mindless like the tags you see on bus stops/trains etc

The Hamlet kids just loved Stik and helped him with his painting in Dulwich Park this afternoon. Their teacher said they were privileged to have the opportunity of working with such a popular street artist.

The Dulwich Picture Gallery has sent out a press release about how delighted they are with Stik's renditions of the classical works in their collection.


No, this is not graffiti as many people understand it, it is art in the streets. It is free for everyone to enjoy and open 24 hours a day.

DULWICH FESTIVAL STREET ART WALK - SUNDAY 20 MAY @ 2.30

Stik and Ingrid are taking a walk by Stik's recent street art works on Sunday 20 May beginning at 'The Guardian Angel' at Push Studios, Blackwater Court, Blackwater Street, and ending at Dulwich Picture Gallery where you will be able to see the inspiration for his works. They will be talking about the meeting of street art and classical art on the walls of Dulwich. Come and meet the artist.


Tickets (?4/2)on the Dulwich Festival website. Tickets include free entrance to Dulwich Picture Gallery.

My initial concern, when councillors were notified of this project by council officers, was also about the possible impact of "copycat" graffiti in the area. But, having met Stik last Saturday, I'm greatly reassured by his responsible, pro-community stance.


And, as Ingrid stresses, this isn't just a random, opportunistic operation... it's a specific community "performance art" project, uniquely based on renditions of the works in the Dulwich Picture Gallery in tandem with the timing of the Dulwich Festival, executed with the permission of the owners of the sites.


If there is an increase in graffiti in the area, I will personally ask Arf, our amazing street-cleaning manager, to send his graffiti-busters down here... or, if anyone wants to report graffiti in general, call our Environment Call Centre on 020 7525 2000.

I missed it last weekend due to other commitments but I heard that he let a girl (albeit another graffiti artist) paint with him. Damnit I guess I?m not blonde and attractive enough! My friend saw the photos on facebook and it looks fabulous ? the artwork not the girl, however??

You are a very ignorant person..


I've been the victim of grafitti 'Artists' when my 4 year old Renault Master van was

sprayed by one of these gits..


Let me know if you would like me to spray your home or car..


I suppose not..

It depends.


If you're a planning of tagging the front of my house is some pointless scrawl whilst I'm sleeping unawares, then probably not.


If you're an artist, creating something which I deem to be of worth, and you have my permission, then go ahead.




If you're incapable of understanding the difference, then the ignorance is all yours.

Well I am not a vandal and respect other people property, so I will not be tagging your home.


Whether or not I'm an artist is a matter of peosonal taste.


Judgeing by the taste of many people here on EDF, I probably could get away with it.


Let me know if you still want my services and I will send you a Quote for the work.. ;-)

Did not use a Red Filter. otherwise the Sky would be red as well.


And it was not done in PhotoShop...


There is a lot more work than that...

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
