One of the true pleasures of photographing street art is finding some of subtle hidden pieces that are out there, but are often overlooked. 23 Magpies specialises in wildlife wheatpastes, often stuck in such ordinary places that if you blink you miss them.

This lovely work of a crow on sheet music is pasted onto a utility box, much as the chameleon was not far up the road on Dean Lane. I don’t know how long this has been here, but I only noticed it last week.

I am very fond of these pasteups, they feel like my own little treasures. If you look carefully you can see one of Andy Council’s pieces in the background.
You changed you profile. I digress. Does 23 magpies usually do the paste up on sheets of music? There is an artist in Australia who does that too. I am never sure if it is intentional or something that was at hand.

I just think it is a style thing. Deliberate I would guess

I think it is a deliberate style thing, but not all the works are on sheet music. Beastie sometimes uses maps.

I wish Beastie would put out some new work. More cats or something..
