There's a rather garish paint job being applied to the building's façade.

 

[Orang Utan]

Ew!

 

[ddraig]

funny how they can get a pro camera set up but not knock up a few posters

ah! posters don't go in funding docs/glossy leaflets and brochures, nice colourful pics do tho!

 

[Badgers]

Black or garish though? I prefer the garish myself.

I think it looked nicer without the orange scribble all over it.

Well.... Yeah....

 

[gabi]

I assume that's a work in progress..?

 

[Rushy]

To be fair, the colour has been horrendous since long before the pub went out of business.

Maybe they are working towards this..

It appears to be getting worse at the moment but maybe it'll be like one of those Rolf Harris things that look utterly crap until the end.

Every young generation thinks they're the first to have discovered sex. I just think it's the ironic-post-modern equivalent of this....


...and anyway, I think Judy Chicago did it so much better.

Only just noticed this - Mrs Magpie as ever your taste is ineffable!

On Tumblr the "artists" looked as though they would not have been out of place doing up the Reichstag in 1934

They aren't the ones doing the paint job as far as I understand.

Posters have to be giant ones with "bold fonts" to make sure people can notice them but mural artwork has to be as polite as possible so as not to attract attention. Those are the rules around here.

i've never put someone on ignore for being dull before. let's see how that goes, eh?

 

[el-ahrairah]

How are you doing on the community outreach?

also, wonder if this will ever get answered.

You can't work out the difference between the purpose of a mural and a poster?

I recommend a course in basic art and graphics, and recommend you refrain from posting up any more clueless nonsense in the meantime.

Here's my piece on Angel in the Lost Pubs of Brixton section.
It's been in and out a few times as the place closed and reopened, but it looks ilke it's gone for good now

I've got some really interesting updates about a circus family that used to live there too - I'll do that as a separate feature sometime.
