An update on the East Dulwich street art, part of Dulwich Outdoor Gallery https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/exhibit/dulwich-outdoor-gallery-tour/QQiKMDYR . The Plough wall that used to have the bee, but has been blank for some months, is going to be painted from Sunday by Mad C http://madc.tv/ , a German girl. It will be based on 'Venetia, Lady Digby' by van Dyck. It will be mainly abstract using the colours and form of the original, with one figurative object which is the crux of the story behind the portrait.


Also Pablo Delgado will be around on Sunday putting up more paste ups along Lordship Lane.


Both have/will have solo shows in central London. Pablo's is on now at the Howard Griffin Gallery in Shoreditch High Street http://howardgriffingallery.com/exhibitions/opens-tomorrow-morning/ and Mad C's at Pure Evil Gallery at 108 Leonard St, London EC2 http://www.pureevilclothing.com/ starting on Oct 1st.

The wall had terrible damp and the owners, a charity, had to renovate it, so destroying the bee. They were sad about it too. But they are happy with the new design.

Ah, OK, thanks.

Senility strikes again :))

yes, that's the one. Can you see the links between the wall and the painting? The perfectly represented all significant rose while the rest is abstracted on the wall.

Who is it that would spoil other's enjoyment by doing that sort of thing? And why do it?? Unlike works of art in museums, street art is not guarded or protected. There is a wonderful trust in that and its everybody's art. Grrrr.

I may be able to get the artist to do something about it...

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
