Me and my kickstarter, selling prints of my hometown, my capital city, my london
“Love will tear us apart again” is probably my favourite piece of street art of all time. It features the Vision and the Scarlett Witch from the Avengers locked in an embrace as if the world might crumble around them at any second. And in some ways it did as they eventually tore down this building in Shoreditch where it once resided. Street art by its very definition is transient but in a city such as London where over the past decade, so much has been destroyed and new buildings, mostly luxury flats have been erected in their place. No city stays the same but I have watched as Old London has disappeared and New London has risen up through its rubble. This photograph somehow sums up for me the end of the old and the beginning of the new and I am very glad I took it as it was not long after that it came down, each painted brick, with a little bit of love on each one, scattered into the debris, never to be seen again.
This photograph is one of the selected you can order via this kickstarter campaign where I am trying to sell 100, one of a kind, lucky dip prints, in 30 days, for £30 each and there is now only 6 days to go and I almost there! I’m 82% funded but there are still prints left so please click on link below if you want to get one while you still can…for the record I will never sell these prints again.
