This is the last of three pieces by Paul Don Smith, that I found at this spot just outside Surbiton Station. I am guessing that the artist favours this spot, perhaps because he is local, or maybe the wall panels favour his square presentation.

Each of his pieces have features popular culture icons, and this one celebrates the hit TV series from South Korea ‘Squid Game’. Paul Don Smith combines his stencils with general spray paint, that softens any hard edges, in a sort of collage presentation. Very nice work, and I’ll be looking out for his stuff the next time I go to any London street art hotspots.

Another piece from Paul Don Smith on the wall opposite Surbiton Station car park. This is a piece that looks like it might have been there for quite a while, judging from the ivy drooping down from the top of the piece, like a theatrical green curtain.

The piece is a collage of images and ideas from the Hollywood movie Venom, which I have never actually watched from start to finish, but have picked up a few scenes while channel-hopping. Paul Don Smith’s style is curious, with a blend of patterns and sketches, spray paint and pens for the finer detail. Definitely a different take on street art, taking a more ‘studio’ approach.

This is another piece from the surprise wall at Surbiton Station, this time one of three pieces by the artist Paul Don Smith. I know nothing about the artist, but from what I see, it looks like he likes to paint scenes in a collage style from television shows or films.

Paul Don Smith has chosen to feature Edward Scissorhands in this square piece, creating scenes and images from the film, including a nicely trimmed hedge and plenty of pairs of scissors. The artwork is a fusion of stencils and paintwork. It is difficult to know how much is brush work and how much is spray paint, but the overall effect seems to work and is quite unique. More to come from Paul Don Smith.
