A few of my favourite things






Here's three grabbed shots of things that caught my eye, bounded by painterly stokes in varying strengths, all supplied by the yellow line man. The first kicks off a series of extreme littering (watch this space for more), apparently sponsored by Red Bull. These seductive deep blue and silver cans really seem to be popping up in the most unlikely places, maybe it is the increased arm strength supplied by the power drink that contributes to the far reaching impact of these little urban souvenirs.


Next up is a picture of a sunlit circle atop a boiled sweet-like remnant of dark beer, spoilt only by the now well documented fag but floating like a rat in a water tank. And the scene is all set in a geometry of swishing lines, changing levels and different materials that are individually unremarkable but occasionally conspire to make satisfying combinations.


And finally the yellow line man's best friend, the fluorescent spot painter has been at work here. Rarely seen, he creeps about with his can of high powered colour and discerningly adds an accent to make a 'just right' addition, a modern Jewel-like detail within a mundane scene, he knows exactly what he is doing.
