Budapest Street Art - October 2014

Bolton is sterile of street art, Manchester is slowly becoming sterile, Budapest was refreshing !!

Don't get me wrong, little men wander the streets of Budapest with scrapers removing post ups and stickers, we saw two painters going thru a pantomime arrest - poor chaps shitting themselves.

 

Like many cities, every back street is full of tags, but also plenty of quality artwork and well take a look at the following for your delectation, enjoy...............











Then, the daddy of them all......

"Hungary's 6-3 victory at Wembley 60 years ago resonates like no other in the history of English football. It wasn't just that this was a first home defeat to non-British or Irish opposition, the magnitude of the scoreline or the brilliance of the Hungarian display: it was the sense of shock. Over the course of one game – one hour even, given Hungary pretty much eased off in the final third – the complacency and the insularity of the English game were exposed. After 25 November 1953, none of the old certainties were certain any more."

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 - September 2012

Bit of a pet project this one.

Stevenson Square, Manchester - home of the Outhouse Project

Well its Heritage Weekend, so a crafty plot to take the kids to the Greater Manchester Police Museum means us jumping off the tram at Shude Hill and a short walk thru the Northern Quarter.

First off  a piece by Replete



Dan Birkbeck





Mooty


 






Akse - sadly someone had defaced this one.




Finally a work in progress, artist Akse - with a bit of Amy Winehouse.

 




 


A last minute spot,  a post up by Kiwie, interesting given this Latvian artist had recently been in North Wales painting the Duke of Lancaster
