I don’t think I have posted anything from Alos for rather a long time, so it was nice to encounter this small piece at the end of the long wall at Cumberland Basin. His rather loose anti-style writing appears to have been superimposed on another piece, and it looks like the fills in his letters are from that previous piece.

One could view this technique as lazy, but I prefer to think of it as opportunistic and illustrative of the perennial layering on the walls we know and love. The skill has been in how to make his letters ALOS rise above from the surrounding chaos, and I think he has succeeded.
There have been quite a few pieces that have deliberately used the previous piece as the fills for the newer one
Still not sure how I feel about it tbh . . .

Yes, it is a strange one – it can be incredibly creative, but it could also be a bit annoying for the other artist.

I know a few commissioned pieces that have been taken out this way . . .
