Found these beautiful tiny works of art on a wall outside the Crown and Greyhound Pub in Dulwich Village.

I'm a huge fan of street art. I really hope we can keep as much of it as possible after the event.

There's one of those little ones at the LL end of Landells Road near where the bins are. Very clever shadows too

You are talking about 2 different street artists. Ben Wilson decorates chewing gum that he has found mashed into the pavement. He has done a couple of beautiful ones outside 265 Lordship Lane, the 'ArtHouse' - soon to be demolished. One is a depiction of the ArtHouse with the words 'good bye' The gum outside Mrs Robinson he did on that Saturday when the shop had a live woman in their shop window acting Mrs Robinson from The Graduate. The gum is a representation of the shop window then! He is incredibly clever. He has got nearer to Dulwich Picture Gallery than any of the other artists participating in Baroque the Streets, painting a piece on the stone walkway up to the main entrance. That is a copy of Judgement of Paris and shows Paris judging the beauty contest between Aphrodite, Hera and Athena.

The small paste-ups with shadows are by Pablo Delgado, DOV article here.http://dulwichonview.org.uk/2013/05/03/baroque-the-streets-pablo-delgado/ They all relate to DPG paintings- generally a witty mash-up.

Having been the co-organiser of this street art, Im soooooooooooo pleased that the response has been positive!

Only partly positive.

The street art is gorgeous. Drivers stop driving, cyclists stop cycling, children stop crying adults stop and laugh together people from the full spectrum of colours and types chat and swap stories.

Well done Ingrid and all the wonderful artists
