Jim Vision, a London-based street artist, has been busy this year, and I've managed to spot four new murals in Shoreditch. Earlier in the year, I had noticed that famous Belgian street artist ROA's hedgehog on Chance Street had become the victim of tagging on the lower part of the body. It had been targeted previously and restored. This time, Jim Vision decided to add a little scene of his native American people appearing to hunt the giant hedgehog with a similar sikhouette of hunters and a giant hedgehog in the background. The work is titled "Hedgehog Warriors".
Also off Chance Street, Jim Vision painted a mural on the wall where Mr. Cenz has occupied for several years. It features a bright white lady on a flaming horse. It reminds me of Lady Godiva.
Another addition was this new shutter mural on Bistrot cafe. It had previously been a Jim Vision mural, but it was recently refreshed with a new one.
The last mural, located off Great Eastern Street at the back of the Village Underground, is a mural on scaffoldign boards titled "Fall of Empire" and features several native Americans hunting buffalo in an urban landscape. This was a long mural, and I could not get it all in shot.
