You have to read between the lines. Distraction is one of the biggest causes of road traffic accidents. This can be drivers using maps, mobile phones and in the States (USA) road side billboards (advertisements). Also even people engaged in deep conversation. It does not take a lot of working out that ANY roadside advert / unusual art work is liable to cause a certain level of distraction and therefore increases the risk of an accident.

ruffers Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I recall a poster featuring Sophie Dahl was accused of casing a few accidents a number of years ago. Is that what you were thinking of?

MrBen Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 When the Fox is on a sticky wicket...diversionary tactics are often deployed. In this instance we've just moved from graffiti to soft porn with Sophie Dahl.

kiera Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ingrid - I'd like to request a mural by Vibes (who painted the kingfisher on Frogley Rd.) I like the mural and admire the artist's skill.

Ingrid, a possible suggestion - the calligrapher Seb Lester was asking for a mural space earlier this year. He does really beautiful typographic pieces - it's hard to imagine anyone not liking them. He said: "I really want to do a big mural this year. A big piece of art, most probably a beautiful and inspiring quote, on a big wall somewhere. The location could be in the UK, or somewhere in Europe possibly. I'm thinking maybe roughly 3 metres by 6 metres. I would be grateful for any suggestions on where I could do that, legally obviously."

More art than> graffii, one might argue.That's quite cool.. A hint of M.C Escher. The Dutch graphic artist. 17 June 1898 ? 27 March 1972It's clever and incorporates the structure of the building with the illusion of depth..One could believe it was real. A lot nicer than that ghastly 'cartoon' bee. with its 'brash' colours.There needs to be more consultation before any work is allowed to be carried out.DulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35007-the-fly-at-top-of-barry-road/page/4/#findComment-854326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngridB Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 A female street artist is going to paint the wall where the bee was from 20 September for about 3 days. She is MadC, and the wall owners love what she proposes to do. It is based on another painting in Dulwich Picture Gallery. Lets hope people love it. I think they will!

Take Note Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Lovely. I appreciate that we have people organising all this art - i don't always love it, but I'm not supposed to. I went to the Summer Exhibition on Saturday and there was some very challenging 'art' (going for ?????) amongst some beautiful bits, buts that's my opinion not everyone's. It's one thing having an opinion - that's what makes us all individuals. It's downright rude to hammer home time and time again (from the comfort of your keyboard), how much you despise something. Thank goodness for IngridB and her artists - thank you! :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35007-the-fly-at-top-of-barry-road/page/4/#findComment-886369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular wall has been in a very bad state for a long time. The owners think it was from when the house next to it (which is now a carpark) was bombed in the last war and an internal wall became an exterior. The street artists in this project mainly use exterior masonry paint which actually protects the wall.

MissKing Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The bee drinking tea is not really to my taste either - but I love that ED has street art like this. So would rather see it stay than painted over. My favorite is the Victorian looking boxing men on the wall opposite the EDT - love that!
