Haha, this is another fabulous collaboration piece from Mr Crawls and Mote whose painting partnership is bearing fruit, and I might venture to suggest that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The piece is painted on the hoarding down by Jubilee Street, which a few years back was a favourite place for artists like Deamze and Soker, until developers started demolishing the hell out of the area – now we are left with hoardings instead.
The different but complementary styles of the two artists and similar subjects and portrait orientations lend themselves to something quite special. On the left Mr Crawls has painted a gull (or is it an eagle?) with horns and on the right Mote has created a wonderful monster bird. Both characters have outsize beaks, but quite different personas. More to come from these two, which is great news.
