At the end of last year, Francisco da Pajaro ("Art is Trash") came back to London and created some new artwork on the streets, featuring trash and other discarded items. He came to London initially during the summer of 2013 and created so many pieces, and I covered as many of those that I could photograph here (Street Art: Art is Trash Francisco da Pajaro). His work was highly regarded and covered in the media at that time.
The artist is originally from Barcelona, Spain. As the artwork is made out of trash, it does not last long at all before it is torn apart of taken away by the garbage collectors.
One of the better pieces that I saw featured an abandoned chair, which was transformed into a figure. This became a tribute to the street artist Robbo, who passed away earlier last year and who currently has many street art tributes dotted around east London after all this time.
Below are some of the photographs that I got of various pieces and drawings around east London. There's a lot more that I did not get to photograph, and these can be seen on the artist's official website.
