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!

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
