1511. M32 roundabout J3 (81)

I haven’t seen any work from Ments for quite a while, so it was great to see this piece which was recently painted as part of the ASK crew paint jam. His work is quite different from other writers, having this rather organic feel to it, rather than the harsher straight lines and angles associated with most block writing.

The letters spell out MENTS, but it is difficult to make it out. I think this is a wonderful piece, but I feel that a little more prep work on the wall would have made it stand out even more. The piese was opainted the day before I took the picture, and the suitcase in front of it belongs to Sled One, whose piece I will feature soon.

1510. M32 roundabout J3 (80)

There is absolutely no stopping Mr Draws at the moment, everywhere I go I am presented with another of his distinctive burners. I would hate to think how much paint he gets through. This is a nice colourful piece on the M32 roundabout, where the turnover of work is quite high at the moment. I love the fill in this particular piece, it is like a child’s painting, full of colour and freedom.

I recently bought some sketches from Mr Draws, and it turns out he lives just round the corner, literally, from me – it seems strange that we have never bumped into each other in the street, only at graffiti spots. So much more to come from Mr Draws.

Ironic

 

My allotment is

looking good despite neglect,

perhaps less work works.
