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.


I probably already knew that.


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...

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?

      Just found these matches!

      Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.

      yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
