Barnaby Barford: The Tower of Babel , by chrispa on Sept 9, 2015 18:53:19 GMT 1, The V&A is currently showing Barnaby Barford;s Latest project...the tower of BABEL
A recreation of 6000 London shops in ceramic
Now..here is the great bit, every shop os on the V&A website (and you can buy them too)
any shop that has graf on it has been created in trhe ceramic artwork
Sometimes the graf is on the front, sometimss on the side
There is a map view that helps you find shops in "street art" areas
I have so far found Eine, a few Stiks, Pixel Pancho (i think) Conor Harrington (possibly), Fin Dac..and I bet there are lots more
If you fancy a street art hunt here is the link
thetowerofbabel.vandashop.com/the-shops-grid
I also think its quite a cool idea to own a bit of street art history by buying one of these

Barnaby Barford: The Tower of Babel , by Schrรถdinger's Chat on Sept 10, 2015 14:33:38 GMT 1, These are quite fun, interesting pieces.
I know someone who is a also a ceramacist, and knows Barnaby, who said this idea was a rip off of Alice Mara's work (who was a fellow classmate of his at RCA).
Got to admit, there is definitely a similarity:
