Well I finally decided to take the plunge and try my hand at a blog. I live in London but only moved down a few months ago and since then have been discovering a vibrant and exciting city. I’m particularly loving the street art and it’s sheer volume and quality. East London in particular is a living canvas on which many talented artists express themselves. Of course with the good comes the bad and there’s still a fair amount of the low grade tagging that gives graffiti and street art in particular a bad name. But that is the way it is and the vibrancy of city lends itself to the most talented artists visiting time and again. I intend to try and capture some of this in my blog and who knows what besides.
Update – Here’s a selection of some of my first ever posts. Don’t judge them too harshly, they represent the birth of the blog as I was finding my way 🙂
