Street artist 616 creates patterned and tribal-like images, paste-ups and installations around London. His work is always popping up across London, and there's always something to be discovered. Often, it's in an obscure place or somewhere that is not immediately noticable. I've posted some examples here. I've not been able to find out too much about the artist. (I have had noticable work by 616 attributed to artist Benjamin Murphy, but it's possible that this was a collaboration?)
I enjoy finding these pieces as they are usually where you would not expect, and they just add a flash of colour. The artist has used paste-ups, paint, glue, cardboard, and other items to make his work. Below are more recent installations by 616 that popped up this summer.
In one of the above, it looks like Obit and 616 were having a little bit of fun with a piece of board outside Grey Eagle Street.

And, as I mentioned Benjamin Murphy above, here's some work by him. His Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Benjamin-Murphy-adso
