Ben Eine Wall in Covent Garden

Liking the words and colours of Ben Eine's latest wall in Covent Garden, London....

oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements

pancakes and fritters say the bells of St Peters

two sticks and an apple say the bells of Whitechapel

when I grow rich say the bells of Shoreditch

Wayne White Word Paintings

"Wayne White's most successful works have been the world paintings featuring oversized, three-dimensional text painstakingly integrated into vintage landscape reproductions. The message of the paintings is often thought-provoking and almost always humorous, with Wayne pointing a finger at vanity, ego, and his memories of the South." He actually won three Emmys for his work on the set design of Pee-Wee's Playhouse!! This guy has talent in all kinds of fields of creativity...

Arabic Graffiti Book

"A recently published book titled Arabic Graffiti by From Here to Fame Publishing documents street art from “freight trucks of Lebanon, along village alleyways in Bahrain, on the bullet-riddled walls of Palestine, or adorning the walls of Western metropolises and designer bags.” It showcases a spread of Arabic calligraphy from the Middle East to urban art niches in Iran, France, the UK, Germany, and Canada."
