It brings me great joy when I come across new Kid Crayon pieces. He has been reasonably quiet over the last couple of years, which in a way is a good thing, because it signals that his work is going well, and being an artist/designer having plenty of work is always a positive.

This wall used to have three alcoves in it, and in fairness, was quite difficult to paint. For whatever reason, the council decided to fill the alcoves with breeze blocks, and I have to say that the unintended consequence was this new long wall, which artists have been enjoying ever since. Kid Crayon has used the full length of the wall to paint his letters in hi favoured pink. Each letter is in a distinct style, where the ‘O’ is a masked character incorporating a floating crayon. A nice tidy piece and great way to start the year.
I’m not sure it was the council who filled in the alcoves tbh
I met the guy who was bricking them up whilst he was working and the impression I got was that the person who had bought what is now an AirBnB right next to the skatepark wanted it bricked up to prevent the homeless people using it. He also decided to put the bins up against the wall (that lasted longer than expected but which now have gone) that stopped people being able to paint the wall properly
He didn’t get permission for either of these things but just went ahead anyway!
Nice piece from KC, although it was disappointing to see the whole wall down at the riverside that he had painted with others very recently was taken out in less than a day . . .

Yeah, 8 went down to photograph that wall, and all gone, with some inferior writing.
