When I was last in London, I was happy to see a new mural on the large wall at Old Street. I covered Phlegm's work in London in my post here, and his work was among the first I recognised in London as his style and characters really stand out. The artist also painted murals on the South Bank in early 2013 and last autumn painted one of the walls on Hanbury Street. The wall on Hanbury Street still contains the artist's work, so do check it out as I have a feeling that it won't be there much longer.
Phlegm's new mural is on a large wall at Old Street. It's a difficult-to-photograph piece as there's a lot of buildings and signed/scaffolding in the way. I would love it if the street market stalls inside that courtyard had been open like they were a couple of summers ago.
The piece features one of the artist's characters inside what looks like a doll's house. The perspective is brilliant, and the detail involved must have taken the artist some time to complete.
This is one of the most stunning pieces that I have seen painted in London recently, and it's a pity that it's so difficult to enjoy due to the obstructions.
