Early classic from Vhils, etched delux wooden boxset edition of 30.
Added bonus that the cover image is down the road from me, one of the few productions I've arranged where the wall owner was absolutely livid. Should have probably told the old fella that the "mural" was going to be hammer drilled into his wall and not painted.
After much discussion, the owner relented and allowed us to continue. As the image began to take shape, the owner called us down and asked Alex where he'd got the image from. It turned out it was from the in-flight magazine from an article on the history of the regions sardine fishing. The owner pointed out his building used to be his grandfathers canning factory for sardines, and the image, was a similar character that they had on the labels to the tins 100 years ago, their main export market. Portugal. A ghost from the past coming through the walls. The owner fell in love with it, and it still stands today. Great ending to what we thought was going to be a very short lived affair.

What a fabulous back story. And a gorgeous piece. Thanks for sharing.

Also added this great book called Street Logos to the collection which covers loads of amazing artists.

Whilst reasonable, it seems odd as the website says free U.K. shipping when I looked last night. I gave up after trying twice.

@dmatt I am in The Netherlands. I can buy the book and send it to you. Let me know!

Starting to notice a reluctance to post to the UK, or with an expensive shipping cost blamed on UPS or Fedex increasing their charge to companies who ship to the UK.
There could be a market for european forum members to offer a service buying and sending smaller valued items such as books to the UK. Dive Jedi recently did me a favour in buying and sending on a book that the Dutch company absolutely refused to ship to the UK.
