Some call it graffiti, some call it art, at its best it can be amazing and edgy.
Like it or loath it, it`s not going away so lets embrace it and be inspired by it.
Street Art Inspiration
Those of us who have visual minds find that although we dream in color, there is one fact that is inherently black and white. We are cursed to picture things in our mind that we would rather not – but on the flip-side we are blessed to have the ability to envision a draft-worthy product before we even have the materials ready to sketch.

A last parting look – Leather Market St SE1
`A last parting look` is an installation by Joseph Kosuth on the end of number 22 Leather Market St in Bermondsey.
He has public artworks in many other European cities including Amsterdam, Rome and Turin.
In Bermondsey he has placed a text from Charles Dickens’ novel The Pickwick Papers high up on a wall. At night the words are illuminated and can be seen not only from the Leather market but at a distance.
The test reads as follows
“There are dark
shadows on the
earth, but it’s lights
are stronger in the
contrast. Some men,
like bats or owls,
have better eyes for
the darkness than
for the light. We
who have no such
optical power, are
better pleased to
take our last parting
look at the visionary
companions of
many solitary hours,
when the brief
sunshine of the
world is blazing full
upon them.” C.D.
180 years ago Dickens was living in Lant Street off Borough High Street and commuting to work over Blackfriars Bridge whilst his father was in the nearby prison.
