Heart rate is slowing
a mad dash to platform 9
I made it on time.
Well I needn’t have bothered
I don’t live in Switzerland.

Delayed at Didcot
nothing much to see or do
tracks are tracks are tracks.

I’m facing backwards
watching the world pass me by

Yet another notable omission from my Upfest 2016 posts is this extraordinary piece by Manchester’s brilliant duo, Nomad Clan. It looks a little bit like a dystopian future piece and bristles with menace and potential violence.

This would have been the first time I saw these two painting or indeed was conscious of their work, although at the time I was not conscious of their work…if that makes sense. It is amazing to think what a successful few years they have had.

The piece is sprayed on the fake train carriage that is rolled out at Upfest each year, which is a nice touch from the organisers. The only downside to it is that it is surrounded by fences, presumably to stop people from sitting on the ledge and getting in the way of the artists.

This is a great looking piece with loads of attitude and a bit of as story gong on in.

Yesterday’s sunshine
too short-lived and usurped by
sad overcast skies.
