From time to time I find myself being very late to the party – I cannot be everywhere all the time, and there are some spots that I don’t visit all that often. Even though this piece by Lis is a bit old and grubby, I wanted to post it because I missed it first time round, and I love her work.

The blue whale, complete with a cane and monocle and sporting a top hat, was painted in November last year, and you can see how much wear these ramps get from the skaters and scooters. I have never really thought of a posh blue whale before, so this is an interesting and humorous take from Lis. Looking forward to more of her work now that the days are drying up a little.

Posh’s work has been something of a revelation this year. He manages to maintain a house-style which is like an elaborate sketch/scribble with both his graffiti writing and his character pieces. He also has a knack for inserting his characters large or small into places, seemingly just for the hell of it.

This piece features a couple of Posh’s finest caricature characters, with bow ties, top hats, canes and monocles. They represent the epitome of poshness, which is exactly what he is setting out to do and does so well.  There is so much life in the piece, and we can only imagine what hollow conversation is going on between the pair. Great work by Posh.

Posh has without doubt flourished this summer, turning his occasional small doodles into lively vibrant pieces filled with his mischievous top-hatted, monocled characters, these painted at L Dub, a spot that Posh seems to rather enjoy.

I love Posh’s style that has a sketchbook quality to it, with a lot of action crammed in and plenty to occupy the viewer as you uncover layer after layer of story. There is some highly decorated writing that underpins the whole piece, but I am not too sure what is spells out. I could easily see these little rascals forming the central thread of illustrated children’s picture books. Great work.
