Paul Insect continued his highly productive run of paste ups.
Some say this is by Ronzo but we're not convinced. No reason to say it's not Ronzo, though we'd have expected the baseball cap motif to be a capital R. Either way, it's a damn fine paste up
A looming wall crisis in Shoreditch is forcing artists with permissioned mural gigs to paint as far away as 10 yards off Brick Lane on smaller and smaller walls.
