I was horrified to see it on a wall in Venice, but amused to see a anti-Bush scribble on a wall in Rome (written in Italian of course).Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02786705388056397346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-27942096244679322842011-02-01T13:31:05.988+01:002011-02-01T13:31:05.988+01:00Vicki,

Alas, it has been painted over!

The scribbles and lines through the text were added in the meantime, too sad.<br /><br />Hilary,<br />I like the text and the beautiful portrait high up on the firewall. <br /><br />Frances,<br />it's mostly the kind of silly and Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-62039720702456582622011-01-31T02:53:16.277+01:002011-01-31T02:53:16.277+01:00I love that - 'where every street were awash w...I love that - 'where every street were awash with a million colours and little phrases' that could be a very intriguing place. . . and 'stop leaning against the wall, it's wet.'

It is a very interesting ongoing view of a part of London that is both old and new. A street artist Ben Eine has done some amazing things in that part of London. <br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-9734598684841598452011-01-30T23:26:45.967+01:002011-01-30T23:26:45.967+01:00I quite like graffiti in some urban centers.
