Well lookee here, on one of my favourite walls we have a fabulous three-way collaboration from Dopes, Jaksta and Neddy Ned Ned. The whole thing is painted in Autumnal colours (although a winter collaboration), and provides more than a little contemporary commentary.
To the left is a fine piece of writing from Dopes, offering his beautifully proportioned letters in a metallic style with plenty of shading fades and highlights, neatly finished off with a tidy blue border and some arrows thrown in for good measure.
The most eye-catching element of the triptych is the portrait of Prince Harry, painted by Jaksta. This mischievous send-up of the Prince directly relates to the revelations in his autobiography ‘Spare’ and is a play on the word Charlie (cocaine) and Charles (his father the King). The portrait is nicely worked, but very different from the style I would normally associate with Jaksta.
I have never (knowingly) come across Neddy Ned Ned before, although his work does look slightly familiar. It is always great to have visitors to the city, especially when they are clearly as talented as Neddy Ned Ned is. There is a nice flow and confidence to the shapes of the letters, and there is a bit of a fill-fest going on too. Altogether, this is a banging collaboration.

Love that panel of Prince Harry, Scooj. I must admit I’m quite a Prince Harry fan, although not of everything he’s done. I almost bought Spare the other day, but my book piles are seriously teetering and then I bought a different book anyway. Can’t help myself.
I saw some good street art in Sydney’s Rose Bay which I’ll be posting soon.
Best wishes,
Rowena

Thanks. I’m not sure I will read Spare, but I am told it has been horribly misrepresented in the vile British media. I struggle to get much reading done, but do love books.

I struggle to read books too, Scooj. However, it doesn’t seem to dampen by optimism for acquiring books. We have quite a number of places I can get them for free too like tiny libraries, our local real estate agent has a free book table and I picked up a few at the ferry wharf in Sydney too. Need to get reading!!
Best wishes,
