What Graffoto saw in 2021
Well done 2021 for having the audacity to follow a totally weird year with an equally weird year, way to go! Although life was not “business as usual” the year did yield some wonderful street art with unexpected and inspired new forms of creativity and a re-evaluation of the significance of paste-ups. We are delighted […]

2019 Street Art Revisited
Time to reflect on another glorious year of street art. Time to make zero apologies for again revealing a disposition towards the small and the unexpected rather than the humongous blockbusting murals. Time to admit that this was written before all those other end-of-decade posts that have been pouring out of Graffoto over the past […]

Back In the Day – 2018
Straddling the end of the year like a hurdler whose rear leg failed to follow the front leg, Graffoto tries to divine a little perspective on the street art we have enjoyed and endured on the annual lap just completed and first sight suggests things were not that painful. There is little doubt that the […]
The approach of the end of the year for many brings on a period of indulgence and reflection and Graffoto can’t resist getting stuck in as well. A little more free time during the Winter months allows a bit of photo library housekeeping which in turn means time to revisit some of the wonderful art […]

2015 Street Art Flashback
All photos: Dave Stuart aka NoLionsInEngland except where stated The big challenge to a writer attempting to review a year of street art is that the chosen subject is so vast, so vague and so difficult to categorize. Efforts to place a boundary around the subject always create a problem of what to do about […]
Photos: NoLionsInEngland Undoubted star of the London street art scene this year was Spanish artist Borondo. Among a series of great pieces the stand out has to be the upside down canalside face in Hackney Wick, a gem of site specific dynamic art. With just the right wind, a gentle slop of the water surface […]
Photos by HowAboutNo and NoLionsInEngland And here we have it folks, part 4 of 4 in the round up of 2011. This final look at the year now covers September all the way through to the end of December. Being that it was mild for the time of year, and there were a shed load […]
HowAboutNo rashly promised FOUR picture-rich blog posts to review what was up on London’s streets and alleyways in 2011, so I thought I’d contribute something at this stage covering the Summer months, mainly because with our productivity we might not complete this magnus opus until Dec 2012. Dr D was present and correct throughout 2011, […]
Part 2 of 4 in the round up of my favourite graffiti and street art action in 2011. Already a few days into the new year, this all feels so last year already. . . All photos by HowAboutNo except where stated. Probs Various Blam repainted his famous Oscar the Grouch piece (and possibly one […]
Welcome pop pickers! A post I have meant to do for the last few years on Graffoto has been a look back at the year, be it a good or a bad one. The problem in previous years was that I just always ended up leaving it too late in the holiday, my bingo wings […]
