I was very excited when I saw this paste up by Lemak, and exceptionally talented Bristol stencil artist. Excited because I had seen a short video of him creating it on his Instagram feed only the day before. So this really was hot off the press.

I passed by the wall last Friday and it has been badly tagged, so it was fairly short lived, which is a pity. Whenever I see great pieces that are dogged or ruined I am reminded of the fantastic line in Bladerunner – ‘the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long‘ and so it often is with great street art.

I love the crisp collage effect with the graff all around – some similarities with the work of PichiAvo?
a great quote…the nature of the beast of street art…wax nostalgia when taggers did their work on railroad cars and bridge over-passes.
