London Street Art: 'Oh My Days!' by Kid Acne

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Street artist "Kid Acne" created a large-scale artwork on the Village Underground wall earlier this year. I got some snaps of it on a couple of days when it was in progress and once it was finished. Kid Acne, originally from Africa, has been creating his artwork for over twenty years now, according to Street Art London (http://streetartlondon.co.uk/).

In addition to characters, a range of his artwork has a slogan theme. He paints large, witty slogans on walls and buildings all over the world. In an interview, he stated that the idea came from his years of writing lyrics, and he had the idea for a London slogan to be "Oh My Days" as it makes him think of London (1).

The photographs below shows the work in progress, with the previous artwork by Phlegm (Street Art: Phlegm) being covered up.
