Hookedblog have been back and forth to Walthamstow, London the last few days checking in on the the progress of the first Paint Your London event launched last weekend by local art based collective Wood Street Walls (Previously on Hookedblog).
Paint Your London is a local street art festival which is also part of the Mayor of London’s 11 day festival “Find Your London”, which celebrates London’s outdoor spaces. The collective are giving the Waltham Forest neighbourhood a fresh lick of paint throughout their month long event that will see them transform bland and dreary buildings across Walthamstow, Leytonstone, Leyton & Chingford into colourful works of art. They are achieving this with the help of some of the best local and international street artists, 20 in total who they have enlisted to help transform multiple locations over the duration of the event.
