Paul Don Smith Paints 'Legend' Mural on Hanbury Street & Other Work from the Summer

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Street artist Don Smith has been exceptionally busy with creating and painting new street art around the streets of London this year. His work is always noticeable as he uses stencils to create vibrant pieces, which mainly feature portraits. Over the spring, I saw several new pieces pop up around Brick Lane, which I covered here and here. The artist has continued painting a new piece regularly, and the latest new piece is the largest that I've seen the artist create.

The new piece is located on a high profile wall on Hanbury Street, just off of Brick Lane. The mural is an advertisement for the film "Legend". The film is about the Kray Twins, who were notorious criminals in east London. Luckily, this area of London was quiet when I visited on Saturday morning, so I managed to get an unobscured photograph.

Close-ups of the mural are below.

In addition to this new mural, I also discovered a few new murals by Paul "Don" Smith around east London. I've included these below along with others that I photographed earlier in the summer.

The artist is having a busy year this year when compared with the previous couple of years, so I expect to see more of his work appear. His work will certainly define London's ever-changing street art of the year this year.
