You may have noticed the street art that has popped up in the area in the last couple of years. There have been lots of discussion of them here.

The walls are organised by Dulwich Outdoor Gallery https://www.facebook.com/DulwichOutdoorGallery?ref=hl and the subject matter always relates in some way to paintings in Dulwich Picture Gallery. The next exhibition at DPG is works by Escher http://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/2015/october/the-amazing-world-of-m-c-escher/ and Phlegm has agreed to paint a wall relating to this. I (DOG) just need a wall! The more prominent it is the better.


Phlegm is massively respected in the street art world and has already painted one Dulwich wall, a man playing a circular trumpet on the corner of Barry Road and Goodrich Road.


Please private message me if you are interested or want more info. Thanks so much.

Yes John, I know 'Dulwich' isnt strictly accurate. In fact there are walls belonging to this project in Nunhead, Peckham and Forest Hill. But the name 'Dulwich Outdoor Gallery' chimes a bit with 'Dulwich Picture Gallery' in the same obscure way as the walls chime with the old master paintings.

Yes, Phlegm does paint all over the world. The one you attached is amazing. I think the coloured parts would be by another artist, as I have never seen him paint other than in black and white. I might be wrong.

no one pays anything for these murals unless. The pubs have all given free food and drink to the artists while they are painting and sometimes paid for the paint. Dulwich Outdoor Gallery funds it all.

Thank you everyone who has offered walls, all 8 of you! I am so pleased that it seems so popular. So I now have a suitable wall for Phlegm, but if anyone would still like a mural by another artist, please get in touch.

Phlegm is painting a wall now, its 155 London Road, Herne Hill. Its right opposite the large entrance to Brockwell Park and that big traffic intersection. He is going far faster than I expected and will probably finish it today. If you want to pop down and speak to him, go this afternoon if possible.

Hello, I know Phlegm is already painting a mural in Herne Hill but I was wondering if he would be interested in painting a small one on my gate. I was about to paint it a whacky colour or get someone to paint something on it anyway.

Yes of course. Find a suitable wall (very visible and not on a listed building), make sure the owner doesnt mind, and I will organise.

Its explained in the thread here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1576213,1576213#msg-1576213

It means much more when you know the picture it is based on, see attached image. The old one is of Lady Venetia Digby by Van Dyck, painted in 1633.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
