Street artist Artista (previously covered in my post here) has spent a lot of time painting various murals across London this year. Most of her street art murals feature her toast character. She has also collaborated with street artist Atomik at the beginning of the year. Earlier this year, she had an on-going theme on Blackall Street where she kept replacing the wall with a new toast mural, photographed below. I did not get to see every example because some did not last long, but I did manage to capture quite a few. Sometimes, getting a photograph of these was hard or impossible. The scaffolding was moved right up to the wall, making it impossible to stand back far enough to get a photograph. Another time, people were using the mural on the wall for a photography shoot. I hung around for awhile, but there was no indication that they would be leaving at any time soon.
I also managed to see the famous toast on a bin.
Also on Blackall Street, the artist painted her lightbulb character with the flowers. These are all common themes.
I also managed to capture her work on Great Eastern Street and off Brick Lane.
Off Brick Lane, Artista collaborated with street artist Atomik. Atomik is an artist from Florida who started in the 1980s and always paints her orange character, which is painted all over the world. The style is quite similar to Artista's own style.
I also managed to capture one of Artista's work, with Anatomix in Nomad Community Gardens, off Brick Lane, which was a collaboration completed as part of a paint jam.
The below one has been around awhile and is a collaboration with Saki & B_tches. I had never covered it, though.
