Sometimes when a piece isn’t signed, it can be difficult to identify the artist, but it is usually possible to do a little detective work to establish their identity. For example this piece gives some clues: the letters spell SEAM, but there is no way this is a Seam piece; Seam belongs to a crew that includes Seed, Seam, Asre and Zinso.

Seed hasn’t reached these levels yet, so the piece must either be by Zinso or Asre. The giveaway is the bubble surround, and the letter shapes to a certain extent, both of which indicate that this is by Asre. A quick check on Instagram to confirm, and there we have it. I suspect this might have been a birthday tribute to Seam.

I took these photographs on one of those rare occasions that my wife joined me on a ‘street art’ dog walk. She doesn’t share my enthusiasm for paint chucked at walls, but to be fair, not many people do. On the upside I did manage to introduce my wife to a new route for her road runs, for which she was most grateful.

These letters from Seam spell out his name with a series of characters in monochrome colour. There is a lot to like about this line up of cartoon-style characters, which although quite crudely drawn, have something about them. I love this take on combination graffiti writing.
