Street Arts
Hackney Wick is the home and canvas to many of London's street / graffiti artists for a few years now. Cursing down the canal yesterday i came across the blank walls and obvious attempts to totally wipe the other wall. There seems to be an unwritten rule down there as the work stays on walls for months so unlike Sclater Street where the corporation claimed graffiti artists were fighting amongst themselves this corporation makes no such claims. Now we're wondering if that white paint is graffiti proof because it just looks like a massive blank canvas to us. In the true spirit of the Olympic we can hear starters orders, Ready, set, GO!!!
