Preserving my Clerkenwell mural, by Dan Kitchener on Aug 11, 2017 9:35:52 GMT 1, thought this maybe of interest to people on the forum
Interesting article in the Islington Journal, regarding the preservation of my huge mural in Clerkenwell! Global Street Art has been campaigning to protect the mural after the council wanted to paint it over, and leave as a blank wall! Local residents and businesses all expressed how they wanted the mural to remain. They spoke to me when i returned from California, and asked my opinion, and for the record, i did not 'Plead' that the mural remained, i explained how locals had said to me how much they love it, and how it has become part of the area, but i also explained that its the nature of street art to be transitional....don't you love papers and reporting!
