My visit to Shoreditch, London, back in November last year reminded me of a significant difference between the London and Bristol street art scenes. In London, there is a strong wheatpaste movement, and in some places there is barely a square inch of a wall that isn’t covered with a paste up. In Bristol on the other hand, wheatpastes are a rarity, and are normally provided by visitors to the city such as Face the Strange, D7606, Tian, Losthills and of course qWeRT. The last frequent Bristol-based wheatpaster was Kid Crayon, but he has moved on to spray-painting now. I think Kedals might be the only one doing it at the moment – room for some new entrants?
This is a little collection of wonderful googly-eyed paste ups by qWeRT which are dotted all over the place in Shoreditch.
qWeRT’s pieces are always rather cute (a word I rarely use) and endearing, like this one holding up a banner saying simply ‘need more love’.
I have always liked this form of street art and qWeRT’s work in particular.

I abhore grafitti but adore street art, it really brightensplaces up.

Got a few of his (assuming it is a ‘he’) on my last visit. Going again in July. Can’t wait. Hoping to do Cardiff this coming Friday / Bristol Saturday.

Yes I wondered about that, he/she. I saw you have posted quite a few works recently, which prompted me to post this one.

Finding a qWeRT paste up is always great
You get to see the art and are usually assured to find to some more pieces somewhere close by

I agree, it was a bit like seeing all the Tian pieces in Stokes Croft.
