I tend to be very slow off the mark photographing new pieces on this wall of the Coach and Horses pub, but feel that I can take my time to visit, when I happen to be passing because the wall has a very slow turnover and is rarely tagged. I managed to find myself over in the area, after visiting the recycling centre and took the opportunity to check out the fabulous pieces making up the collaboration. This first piece is by Sled One.

Sled One has always had a rather surreal take on his characters and scenes, but what makes them so special is his incredible talent with the spray can. One is simply left with the lingering question… how does he do that? The piece, called ‘Shit TV’, features a fly, sitting on a turd, watching TV with a pair of 3D secs on and eating popcorn and drinking a milkshake. It doesn’t get much weirder or obscure than this, but Sled One thinks of these things and brings them to life in a remarkable way. Brilliant work from a brilliant artist.
