Starting from somewhere near to home...

A live and kicking wall in Birmingham on my route into uni for the last couple of years, always seems to be more being added to this showcase of local graffiti

Series of face profiels and the 'ride a bike' stencil surrounded by and interacting with random taggging

'Ride a Bike' anti oil war (?) stencil, a popular one around the student areas of the city


This is just highly admirable artwork, poetic and well executed



'Who watches the watchers?' very apt stencil for the UK which must be the most filmed and observed society in the current age.

All these stencil works found on this one side wall of a house en route to the university, which seems to be used as a showcase for local, especially stencil, artists. A good wall to watch, if ther is such a thing! Located in the student heartland of the city this wall likely has a tradition of this sort of expression and hopefully a future too.

В студенческих частях городов обычно существует живая граффити-культура. Это признак ли простого студенческого бунтарского духа, или форум для образования и выражения души и стоимостей следующего поколения?
