Prince by Akse P19, Manchester - May 2016

Late May 2016 and the Manchester Cities of Hope Festival was in full swing, Akse P19 being pretty much the street artist in resident in Manchester's Northern Quarter did his own thing.

Following on from the fantastic David Bowie artwork we stumbled upon Akse P19 hard at work on his tribute to Prince.

Here was the work in progress, please visit to see the finished art on the corner of Tib Street and Thomas Street.

Sheffield Street Art - September 2014

So, I'm in Sheffield, time for a mooch so I parked up down near the old abandoned Stanley Tools factory which was sadly closed up again.

 

Driving round to park up, this little beast just jumped out at me, as it would ! The Black-eyed Girl ?



And then on with some more wonderful spooky shit, thankfully I found these on the street and not some darkly lit warehouse, the girl would definitely make you jump.







Once again I pottered round to Sylvester Street, Sheffield for a mooch, if in doubt or disappointment Sylvester Street always has something to look at....















Just don't forget to keep your eyes open and explore every side street in Sheffield, as street art is everywhere and top knotch.



 




Time for some proper derp exploration.....

Stevenson Square, Manchester - April 2013

Another return trip to Manchester, for the next chapter in the Outhouse Project of Stevenson Square, Manchester.

 

 

 

 

 






Bit of a mad dash, an hour to spare before I fled the country I wandered up to a strangely very quiet Northern Quarter, even for a Sunday the streets where empty, apart from some scaffolders busily doing what scaffolders do.


 





Until the next visit...

Liverpool Graffiti Hunting - September 2012

It said in the magazine "Boarding a plane to an unbeknown country makes your mind wonder about all the photographic opportunities your going to encounter. The beautiful architecture, the....."

So I caught a train to Liverpool for a bit of graffiti hunting !

Given that Bolton is only 37 miles from Liverpool, I've only ever been to Liverpool twice in my life and after catching a ferry across the Mersey I'd never been back, until now.

Not sure where I'd spotted this, but I read that Cains Brewery in Toxteth would be a good starting point for the hunt for Scouse artwork and I wasn't disappointed.

 

 

 

 

 

From then on a trawl of the back streets, Liverpool has street art and graffiti in dollops, from Liverpools Beatles Heritage

 

 

to Banksy's Gangsta Rat

 

Liverpool just kept on giving quality artwork

 

 

 

 

 

Turn a corner and more

 

Free Pussy Riot



to Beauty of the Beast, this one I just love, as does my nipper




 

 

With five hours of walking, looking in nooks and crannies these are just a small sample of the photos taken that day, I will return as I'm sure more treasures are awaiting me including the Banksy which had been covered in scaffolding and plastic.
