A couple of weeks ago I bumped into Paul H in St Werburghs tunnel and he tipped me off that Smak was likely to be painting at the M32 Spot, so naturally my next port of call was to my favourite board under the motorway. There I found not only Smak, but Mena too, both busily spraying.

I have many photographs of Mena’s work, but I think this is the first time I have posted anything, so I guess a bit of a rummage through my archive will be happening in the not too distant future.

On the left of the board is a beautifully worked piece of graffiti writing from Smak. What is noticeable about this is that the light conditions on the two days I visited this piece have presented two different tones, one much yellower than the other – I guess that cameras get pretty goofed up with poor light under the motorway and bright light bleedinng in at the sides. Auto settings simply can’t cope.

On the right is a ‘stock’ piece of writing from Mena. The letters are uniform in size with interesting shapes and Mena really goes to town with some beautiful horizontal fills in wonderful complementary colours. The outcome is very pleasing, and the black 3D shading really helps to lift the whole thing out from the wall. I am really looking forward to sharing more from Mena.
Always good to see you and to have a chat during these troubled times Scooj . . .

Likewise. And so good that Biden won. Maybe a little bit of stability ahead.

I truly believe he will be the 2nd worst POTUS ever but at the same time will be 1000% better than the last one.
I just wish we could have somebody that was kind and full of compassion and empathy to be a true leader of not just a country but of humanity itself . . .

I have a little bit more faith in Biden. We shall see. He has a healthy dislike for Boris which is a good start.
