7516. Berwick Road

I feel particularly squeezed for time today, so this might be short. As you will know the lion’s share of my photographic street art trips are accompanied by my dog. We wander about in some of the less desirable places of the city and snap away. Occasionally he will pull me in a direction I wasn’t planning, but that may lead to a new discovery, and so it was when I found this modest piece by 3Dom.

Painted on a rather grubby hoarding, the letters 3DOM can clearly be made out. I love his style of writing, which he has made all his own, and it is always immaculately presented. He includes the words ‘there were lobsters on the Titanic waiting to be eaten’, which I think means that there was a small and just breadcrumb of a positive outcome from the sinking of the Titanic – there might be a hint of class war in the sentiment too. My guess only – It isn’t a phrase I have heard before.
