These next two bits of graffiti have been ineffectively painted out, I love the resulting subtleness.
This one reminds me of Jean Dubuffet's art...

Post authorOoh, I wish I'd seen that one. Btw, I finally got round to picking up the drawing I bought from your show at the Here Gallery and it's sitting above my computer.
