There are an increasing number of topical pieces appearing on the streets at the moment, and if nothing else, street artists are fantastic chroniclers of the social, political and economic landscape. There is plenty of material out there to inspire their work at the moment, although it is unclear whether they will be able to physically paint. I suspect that some will continue.
This piece by Face 1st in the tunnel perhaps epitomises and encapsulates our fears in graphic form of the terrible Coronavirus. Britain is in shock this morning when all that we hold sacred, our ability and desire to socialise, has been taken away. We are not yet commanded to remain in out homes, but it is only a matter of time. The death rate in the UK is disturbingly high and the next three months or so are goinng to be very testing.
Throughout, this blog will continue come what may…I have so much archive material that I can at last share with you all.
I think a lack of money and paint are going to stop many from painting regularly which will be a real shame . . .

I may have missed the boat on the new pieces. Time to get the board out of the greenhouse to start practising my spraying again.
