Graffiti Alley

There is a rather bizarre little alley on Pilgrim Street in Newcastle that is filled with graffiti, most of which appears to be chalk. Its been like this for a while which is odd considering how central the location is in the centre of Newcastle. I know its probably an ugly image but i quite like images of decay when the colours and textures are aged and rich and full of history. I also find some of the graffiti to be pretty funny.

Everyone Is Watching Someone

I took this image while on a short break in London with my girlfriend. We popped down to the market at Portobello and discovered a part of the market where there was an apparent outdoor urban gallery for graffiti artists under a flyover. Although I did take some photographs of some of the artwork on display including some great stencils by Agent Provocateur I was really taken by an older gentleman who appeared to be completely engrossed in the artwork on display.
