I love the British street art scene, but apparently times are hard for spray artists in London, the city that epitomizes the urban art scene. Insiders say tags, stencils and general bombing are all being removed in the neck of time by the local councils.
Why are they being so vigilant? Because of the Olympics 2012 which are to be held in London.
So, here is a celebration of great British street artists who people have eternalized through photography and video. Take a look, and artists: please keep going. We don’t like the look of cold, bland streets.
