    That must have taken some time.. is it ‘official’ graffiti then, or an opportunist individual’s initiative, I wonder? Maybe a story there..

    Good clear shot and colours. The bit of red seen at left balances the composition. I like the bars of pale grey and rich browns respectively framing bottom and top of the image.

    Cheers for your kind comments, although I actually work for the City Council I don;t know what our policy is , I’ll have to check, there is lots of it all over the city and it is replaced quite frequently – so who knows?

  • Gary Gurr

    Technically ‘Self Portrait’ is a door so probably not a wall image, I might try ‘Check mate’ though. Cheers
