What a lovely tidy and fresh-looking piece this is from Kool Hand. I was lucky enough to catch up with the artist himself as he was painting this one, and, like nearly all the artists I meet on the streets, he is a really nice and engaging bloke… why wouldn’t he be?

I think it is the freshness of this piece that makes it so easy on the eye. Everything feels solid and strong, and even the white highlights that help the piece to pop, are bold and unambiguous. A piece like this works so very well on a buffed wall, and could look quite compromised if it had been painted directly over existing busy graffiti.
