Those of you who who have read this blog before will probably recognise this piece instantly as the work of Osch. This is one of a series of works characterised by a frame of an orange/yellow circle with some kind of scene, usually silhouetted going on inside the circle.
Osch, the Stables, Camden Town, September 2016In this case it looks like the character is Guido Fawkes, although exactly what story the piece is telling I am not so sure. The other trademark style used by Osch is using painted ribbons to create the illusion of solid forms as can be seen from the face of Guido. He uses this technique to great effect in his rhinoceros piece nearby.
Osch, the Stables, Camden Town, September 2016Another compelling piece by this adopted son of London.

Who in the Sam Hill is Guido Hawkes? I really like his ribbon work–he did a tiger a few years ago that was divine. Happy New Year!!

It is Fawkes (Guy Fawkes). Osch is amazing, and I still have several more of his works to post. And a very happy New year to you too Frankie.

This really cool, and it reminds me that I have a ball if yarn and a crochet hook in my closet that I must resurrect.
