Brightly coloured pictures on the walls, crazy foam sculptures and scarecrows everywhere - I quite like the deliberately naff quality of most of it - like walking through an outdoor infants school.


The outside of 265 LL continues the child-like theme - it's a mess, like a teenager's bedroom.

Have you looked carefully at the toad on the left of the front of the building? It has a beautiful textured skin and a delicate dragon fly in its mouth. Its a shame that Malarkey https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=malarkey+street+artist&rlz=1C1SKPL_enGB416GB416&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=CfSTUb3yDc73O7mYgMgG&ved=0CDwQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=892 painted his bright and simplistic figures right next to it today. It drowns a very beautiful mural. Careful curation should prevent this, and I slipped up here.


However, one of the best street artists in the world, Nunca, has flown in from Brazil to paint Dulwich. He was one of the 6 street artists invited by Tate Modern to paint the walls of the building in their street art exhibition in 2008 http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/street-art He is painting the wall in the Plough pub's car park at the top of Lordship Lane.

IngridB, respect - I don't know how you have managed to organise all this amazing street art, but we in ED are so lucky to be benefiting from it. Ignore all the nitpickers, I think most of us here are so thrilled that these artists are using their skills in our "modest" suburb. We are very lucky to have such inspirational people contibuting to our community.

Yesterday, the @BellendenRd Twitter account (I know, so shoot me) retweeted this snap that is described as a shot of the window of Chener books on Lordship Lane:

Are you acting as an enabler of this "cultural imperialism and artistic colonisation", John? (Or just looking to profit from its adherents?)


PS It is a tight crop, perhaps there are some ironic signifiers that have missed. I am not allowed out these days, so cannot stroll over to your valley to check.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      It feels like it might be an extension of the summer water bombing spate. The sad thing is this could really put off some visiting the park. I really hope the council seriously consider putting some of their huge parking surplus to funding a serious and permanent warden and police presence in the park; it is needed.

      So glad the kids that threatened your dog were spoken to. Also good to know police aware of fireworks. I heard some going off again this evening, well before dusk, so they need to get on top of this or with it getting dark earlier it may get a lot worse.

      High Court is a boost to Reform?

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      To put this over dramatic and somewhat gleeful post in context, the policy has not "failed at first hurdle." "It is just a temporary decision. The judge granted a pause of at least 14 days so the man, who is not being named for legal reasons and arrived in the UK on a small boat last month, could provide evidence of his claim that he has been a victim of modern day slavery." from BBC website
