i remember when i was living in this very neighbourhood back in the mid 1990′s and there was quite a bit of this roy lichtenstein pop art inspired style of street art about. i had pretty much forgotten about it until i came across this one today.
i just wonder if it is the same person refreshing their old art, or if someone new has taken the baton.
great to see some refreshed and vibrant colours back on the wall again.

a nice little piece on kim jong ill.
apparently he is not actually a nutter, he is really quite sane. he is just an egotist and nihalist.
to see what is going on over in north korea, a great resource is dailynk.com – it really gives an insight into what is happening over there. i read it weekly. kim jong ill is a criminal and causes the daily suffering of 24 million koreans.
these people live in such a twisted form of reality. the chinese and south koreans fear that when (not if) the regime collapes, they will be flooded with 24 million under-educated zombies with huge drug problems (yes, they may not have food, but they have plenty of ice).
the sooner the US, UN and EU stop playing games with this monster and cut him off totally from foreign aid and food aid, the sooner this regime will collapse. yes it will be a big problem for south korea and china in the short-term, but it will also be a better long-term solution and expediate the raising of standard and quality of life for all those poor bastards who are trapped in the north.
now, for some light entertainment (from the film ‘team america’):

i came across this one in a strange little back alley behind the amex building on oxford street (opposite hyde park).

look at what’s going on here. lamp posts, signage, mobile phone towers, big brother cameras, posts poles, columns, those dangly things that make noise when a too-high truck passes them, concrete and galvanised steel. what you don’t see in the photo is the black dust from exhaust fumes, millions, yes i am sure, millions of cigarette butts and piles of rubbish thrown out the windows of moving (and sometimes not moving) vehicles, like it’s someone else’s problem.
when are people going to realise that when they throw their crap onto the street, rather than into a bag, that yes sure, it will be someone else’s problem, but also a problem to themselves and their families? boggles the mind it does.
