2923. M32 Spot (66)

This was a modest piece from Rezwonk, tucked away on a back fence at the M32 Spot from August last year.  It includes a wonderful Charlie Brown character and yellow bird and the writing faithfully adopts the colours of Charlie Brown’s shirt.

The interesting thing about this piece is that although the colours of the letters match Charlie Brown, the writing style doesn’t. I would love to see if Rezwonk could reproduce this idea with writing that adopted the cartoon curves and line drawings of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. That said, I love this piece and Rezwonk is a favourite on Natural Adventures.

I have held on to this one for a very long time, because although I suspected it, I was never one hundred per cent sure that it was by JPS. Well it is…although I had to check back on his Instagram account to be absolutely certain.

The featured image is the earliest photograph, taken in August 2014, and the cleanest version that I have. The Charlie Brown character has been defaced a couple of times since, and I am fairly sure that the last time I saw it, it was pretty much ruined.

It is one of my top ten stencils and was really the first introduction I had to photographing street art. I think I love everything JPS does, and I have so much more to share.

I seem to have in my mind that I read an article about this piece and that it made reference to Banksy’s successful New York tour, hence the ‘I love NY’ tag. I wish I could recall the article, because I doubt the sharpness of my mind.
