Sue Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Sadly somebody has turned this into Stick Queen.Quite funny but also vandalism 😢I really liked the original 😢 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/258222-queen-and-corgis-art-opposite-the-lordship/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxjen Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Is it vandalism? I passed by when the original with the exception of HM?s head had been painted over to match the background which I guess was the first stage. Could have been done with the wall?s owner?s permission?

rachp Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 According to this post from the family of the house owners, it's vandalism https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/2011961652268677/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/258222-queen-and-corgis-art-opposite-the-lordship/#findComment-1436295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxjen Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thank you, I hadn?t seen what it looked like now. Perhaps when I saw it just painted over it was to cover up some earlier tagging.

claresy Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I live right near this and can clarify that it was painted over by the resident, as someone had put a great ugly tag on top of it. As soon as my neighbour had painted over this, kindly leaving the untouched royal head, more graffiti was put on top. It seems really mindless to cover street art with uncreative graffiti. The stick body made me laugh but there are more ugly initials there now.

singalto Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 That?s such a pity. The original one was clever and so well executed. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/258222-queen-and-corgis-art-opposite-the-lordship/#findComment-1436512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
claresy Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I know! I watched him do it. You'd think people would choose something ugly and/or boring to deface!

The Elusive Shadow Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Really angry about this. Noticed some idiot had tagged all over it the other week. All the blank walls to choose from and they go and do that. Hope it'll be recreated Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/258222-queen-and-corgis-art-opposite-the-lordship/#findComment-1436552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yes it is a shameBut I wish they'd done it to that Virgin and child.

claresy Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I'm inclined to agree - or the 'love is a prison without bars' one on Pellatt Road.
