BRIGHTON STREET ART

 Brighton Street Art

      Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great. So some of the colours are not as vivid as I would have hoped. Eventually the rain was so heavy I had to repair to the nearest Spoons to dry out (externally). It was packed.

      Most of the murals in Brighton are close together, especially along Trafalgar Lane where there is a whole gallery (which changes regularly) ......

       This is a memorial to 13-year-old Minnie Rose Eastman who took her own life in 2019. The mural was commissioned by Minnie's mother Sacha and youth suicide prevention charity Papyrus (0800 068 4141).  Artists Favela and Fek worked voluntarily and donations of spray paint came from as far away as Canada. For more on this story click here.

    My initial thought was that Sam Cox, aka Mr Doodle, might be responsible for the livery of this Brighton bus as his 'graffiti spaghetti' has appeared on Brighton's streets in the past. But it seems unlikely.

IPOH STREET ART

Image
  Ipoh Street Art     I've recently returned from my second home in Ipoh, Malaysia, a city blessed with plenty of street murals.      Mural Arts Lane is the back alley to Jalan Masjid .....        Eric Lau, a local art teacher, launched Mural Arts Lane in 2014. Among his popular murals are the Children Games Series.       Most of these works  have been there for years, free of vandalism, despite being easily accessible. But they do suffer from the tropical climate and, if not restored, eventually weather away ......        2024                                                   .... and four years earlier.      Mural Arts Lane is in Ipoh New Town, but there is plenty more street art in Old Town, around Concubine Lane.       The Uber delivery ...

ANIMAL STATUES IN LONDON 1

  Animal Statues in London 1          Denmark Hill                                                                    Sutton         T he Fox is in the front garden of the Fox on the Hill,  a very nice Wetherspoons with great views - you can see the London Eye in the distance.      The name of the pub dates back to the 1700s when   The Fox  was situated further down Denmark Hill. Later it was renamed   The Fox Under Hill  and the starting point for many hunting meets with foxhounds. It was flattened by the Luftwaffe in 1941 and later rebuilt at this new location as the present  Fox on the Hill.  It stands next to Ruskin Park on Denmark Hill, named after Prince George of Denmark, who hunted there. He was the husb...

GLASGOW STREET ART

   Glasgow Street Art        A few days after my Brighton break I found myself in another place awash with fine street art - and the only major UK city I'd never visited before . The 'summer' weather in Glasgow was even wetter and colder than in Brighton. But that didn't put me off; and I was never far from a Wetherspoons when the rain (and hail) showers threatened.      Using one of those quaint old paper street maps marked with a route plotted from streetartcities.com is a good way to get under the skin of a city, often away from the obvious tourist spots.       Where better to start than with archetypal Glaswegian  Rab C. Nesbitt, played by Gregor Fisher since 1988. Even those who  never watched the TV series are likely to remember his  Hamlet ad.   Apparently Johnny Depp based his Glaswegian  accent for Alice in Wonderland   on Rab.       Wind Power , Mitchell Street, by Ro...
