Bacon Street, off of Brick Lane, has been recently painted with the work of several artists this summer. It's been a little while since the street was painted with anything new, so it was a nice surprise for me to walk past the street and discover several new murals. Saki & B is one of the artists who have contributed to a lot of recent work on this street. However, Amara Por Dios and Dscreet have also contributed.
Amara Por Dios
The last part of the street where the shutters are for a shop selling used items (furniture, antiques, and so on), Saki & B and Zina collaborated on a mural and Amara Por Dios and Flesh contributed on another.

Dscreet normally paint on the wall where their current work is located. This is a tribute to The Doors' song "Break on Through". The artist has used lyrics in some of his past murals.

Saki & B. (covered here) painted a two-panel mural with her female figures. The figures are normally part animal, and these have fish tails. Her work is normally witty and features female figures, often with alien or animal appendages and often partially nude.

On a wall close is a woman figure in a butcher's outfit with a knife, and this is Saki & B.'s third mural on the wall. This woman appears to be sneaking up on ROA's pig mural, which has been on the wall for many years (covered here).

These new additions to the Bacon Street walls are worth a visit before they disappear, and my favourite is the butcher above.
