Weston-super-Mare 22nd August – 27th September 2015 All photos: NoLionsInEngland except Dismaland logo courtesy www.banksy.co.uk It has been a while, street art has been wallowing in the doldrums.

It was painterly, impressionist and frankly very inventive. Shoreditch, 2014 Had we ever seen a piece of street art specifically designed […]
The Hoxton Gallery 16 Jan 2015 All photos: NoLionsInEngland Videos: Keith K. Hopewell, NoLionsInEngland This scribe’s ugly and wizened fizzog appears for a nanosecond in an artist’s video. Quite sufficient justification for a belated blog musing, a video clip and a video clip of the making of the video clip. Keith K. Hopewell is many […]
all photos: NoLionsInEngland (with anonymous passerby help gratefully received where noted!) Dr D is a perhaps the perfect street artist.

Art Is Trash returns to London
Art Is Trash is back in town and installed this most unlikely tearful tribute to Robbo on a wall tastefully utilised by Drax and Oker and Pure Evil (out of shot) as a Robbo tribute then distastefully partially painted over too soon by Endless. I doubt there is a more flamboyant performer in the world […]
