UK-based street artist Dan Kitchener (alternatively known as Dank) paints cityscapes and portraits of women. Most of his artwork is influenced by the city of Tokyo, geisha girls, and futuristic cityscapes/people. The artist has been painting in London for quite a while, and I always enjoy seeing his work as it somehow just gets better and better. Ok, so admitedly, a few of these photographs were taken over the past several months, but I've just found it a little difficult to get to east London regularly, and there's been a lot of tagging/destruction of artwork happening not long after the pieces are added to the street, which is always a big shame.
The above mural is on Curtain Road. It is of a geisha girl, and it replaced a similar girl painted previously, which I took a nice close-up of.
The newest piece is actually the replacement of his work on Pedley Street off Brick Lane, but it was tagged over before I got to see it, so here's the finished piece from the artist's Instagram.
Another was painted in one of the four panels on Great Eastern Street. It is a London scene with a red bus.
And, finally, I captured this storefront by the artist for Green Papaya restaurant.
