I think that's highly unlikely.


Very sorry to hear about the theft, I really liked the picture :(

It is definitely not an inside job, I know.

If you remember what the painting looked like recently, the stik people had wobbly legs. Not Stik's style at all. In May that piece was tagged and as Stik was too busy to come and mend it, and not wanting the tag to be there where it might attract more tags, I touched it up myself. Really badly. So the bottom half is by a middle aged woman who has never held a spray can before in her life! Shades of that old woman in N. Italy touching up a 15th century fresco thought to be by Leonardo! Poor thief!

No, neither the artist nor the building owners get paid, all this is free public spirited stuff. The wall owners often pay the artists' expenses - paint, hire of scaffolding etc. 3 pubs gave them food while they were painting. The pubs, cafes etc have noticed a lot of increased business as people come from all over the place to see the murals and buy in Dulwich. Its win win. (unless you dont like the murals).


And no, you dont need permission for wall paintings, but you do for the mushrooms (on top of Mrs Robinson and Franklins Farm Shop). Im struggling with the council now to get retrospective planning permission, as I hadn't realised you needed it and they are threatening to take them down.

How sad that it's been taken. I love the murals, although they're not all to my taste, I like the colour they add to the area. The fact that the tours bring lots of people to the area is a real bonus for local businesses.


Ingrid - I've noticed the mushrooms but didn't know what the story behind them was - can you help?

Thanks. Why do you need planning permission for those particular ones?


Have you seen Colin Harrington's mural?

I'm really sad this Stik has been taken. I really love the local street art.


Hopefully with Ingrid's "touch up" it won't go far.


easytiger - you'd need planning permission for the mushrooms as they are an external addition / fixture. They presumably don't fall within the 'permitted development' rights.

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
