I recently watched a new piece of street art go up on one of the high profile walls on Hanbury Street. The artist of this piece is Eelus, who is based in Brighton, and this is his first piece of street art in four years! This piece is titled "An Angel for Ruby" and is dedicated to the artist's daughter. Unfortunately, there is a sad story behind this piece as the baby daughter passed away shortly after her birth earlier this year.
On his blog (1), the artist stated that he tried out some new techniques, and he wasn't 100% happy with the results as the wings and the shading on the face were a little rushed. However, this still is a striking piece of art, particularly the detail in the torso and the shading on the lower part of the face.
