Over a number of years I've become fascinated with graffiti and the artists who dedicate themselves to this amazing art-form.
Clearly, many of these people are professional artists, but some of the images I find most appealing are the work of gifted amateurs, who brave the elements to practice their art in obscure, dirty and sometimes dangerous parts of London.
I'm very concious of the fact that, while I try to do the pieces justice through my camera lens, this is the work of others. Where I can, I will always try and offer a link to the artists themselves.
When this first started going up next to 2Rise's piece I had no idea what was going on, but the completed work is crazy funny. Really liked it. I had no idea who the work was by; I didn't catch the artist before he finished, but thankfully he spotted it and got in touch. So, if you like the wall, go check out more of Darren's work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/teafc/

I believe this artist was Polish. A lovely chap who I met a couple of times, but my Polish id non-existent as was his English. His work speaks for itself though.
I don't have the time to drop over to Waterloo as often as I would like, but I was back there again today having visited yesturday afternoon. I'm so glad I made the extra effort. You can see more of Neonita at http://www.neonita.co.uk/graffiti.html
Heavily reconstructed. Apologies if I've goofed some of this up, but the piece was almost tagged to death when I found it. Such a shame. Check out more of this work, along with a shot of the original pre-tagged piece at http://www.flickr.com/photos/parleeart/
A cemetery, or graveyard is a spatially defined area where the remains of dead people are buried or otherwise interred. The word cemetery implies that the land is specifically designated as a burial ground. In the wider sense, a graveyard or cemetery can carry many thoughts and feelings. The term is as just as applicable to the haunting landscapes of towns, cars, boats or other objects or areas that have been neglected, abandoned or fallen in to disrepair.
Dungeness; a deserted wasteland dotted with wooden shacks, tiny brick houses, and a fishing village graveyard. Have nuclear power station though. I guess that makes up for the lack of community? ~spot the sarcasm!~
