Stik is probably the most instantly recognisable street artist in the world. His simple stick figures hide a sophistication that is quite baffling really. They appear to convey such strong feelings and emotions, often compassionate. How does he do that?
Stik, Grimsby Street, London, August 2016This piece however is slightly different. Lurking in a backstreet that is a favourite for street artists are these two rather unfortunate characters puking up in the street. I don’t know what the story here is, but it is not like it isn’t something we all haven’t done, either through illness or over indulgence. Perhaps just a commentary on the human condition.
Stik, Grimsby Street, London, August 2016I absolutely love his work and have posted about the large piece in Bristol and charming wall in Chichester previously. More to come.
I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

No I hadn’t, this is incredible (£35k!). Maybe one day I will get lucky and own a piece – a My Dog sighs tin can would do.
