Shepard Fairey, Banksy, and other artisitc vandals

We did a graffiti walking tour through Shoreditch and saw some works by well-known graffiti artists... and a lot of graffiti by "artists" nobody knows. This tour is best described in pictures, not words, so just enjoy.

Banksy

Banksy


Shepard Fairey's Andre the Giant peeping over the buildings

Another Shepard Fairey (also known for his Obama Hope and Vote Earth - Earth Hour posters)


Now for random graffiti:







This wall (which is now covered in graffiti is actually in front of (and thereby protecting) a Banksy rat piece. Hence why its the "rat trap."


Even some live graffiti work to conclude the tour!
