Street Art Round-up in East London

I have a lot of street art (grafitti) photographs to post from the past couple of months (or longer, in some cases). The street art scene in east London has also gotten busier at the moment as the weather has improved, and I have been noticing several new pieces that popped up since the end of last week. I'll be posting these in time, but for now, have a look at these pieces below.

Ben Murphy (covered here: Street Art: Ben Murphy and 616) has been busy this year, and this is a new piece that appeared on Great Eastern Street, next to Millo's work. Millo painted a few pieces in London last summer, and he was back earlier this year (Recent Street Art in Early 2014).

Another artist that has been adding art to the streets is Pang (Street Art: Pang); the work is now on a larger scale from the small ashtrays and cowboy figures that used to dominate the area.

And, 616 has been painting larger-scale pieces (the tribal patterns) as well as PMT, who paints large white dogs. This one has a bird and a cuddly-looking dinosaur (or dragon?).

Saki (Street Art: Saki) has also been busy with paintings, and I was happy to see that the three caged girls have been repainted. They had been painted over with black paint for many months; I guess someone was not happy to see them.

And, I discovered this message: "home is wherever I'm with you"...

Fan Horror Crew (Street Art: Fan Horror Crew), who paint balloon-creatures and sweets, painted a high-profile piece off of Brick Lane and several smaller pieces.

I had just recently published an article about Mobstr (Street Art: Mobstr), but he had an exhibit last week.

Perspicere creates street art made from thread or string. I've seen a few pieces around east London, but the one below is on a larger scale and is a collaboration with Joyce and Tommy Fiendish.

On Hackney Road, I discovered a lot of street art on scaffolding. The one below was "Tom's Got a Pencil", and the other work was from Skeleton Cardboard (Recent Street Art in Early 2014), Nathan Bowen (Street Art: Nathan Bowen), and Squiddy Johnson (the alien-like figure, which also appears in the Nathan Bowen post).

Cardboard Skeleton, Squiddy Johnson, and others (I'm not sure who painted the Henry).

Nando Mambo has also been painting a lot recently, and his figures always represent superheroes.

Street artist Gee (Street Art: Gee) has been improving his stencil technique.

Gee and unknown

The one below is a little older. The gun by Cityzen Kane (Street Art: Cityzen Kane) has been there for a long time. The American-missile appeared last summer, and it's not there anymore.

Vinz (covered here) also painted a few pieces last year, and he's been back this year with more. Sadly, they do not last too long.

Unknown and Vinz

Dan Kitchener (Street Art: Dan Kitchener) was busier last year, and there was a spot on Brick Lane that always contained one of his pieces, but it kept being painted over and replaced. The following piece (on two sides of a building) has been there for a few motnhs now.

And, I've included several more pieces below. I would not mind knowing who the artist is of the pieces that I have not identified, so please just leave me a comment with the name of the artist.
