I've been working from home this week (remote accessummgood!!!) and no ops to get down the alley so this is the cleaning out of the Lefties pantry...
You can tell this one's old because you can still see the original colour of the (then) newly buffed wall April 07. There's been so many go overs since then that the masses of layers of paint are closing the alley in - soon you'll have to hold your stomach in and walk sideways ;-)
I mentioned that AK found a spot and just keeps capping himself - this was taken mid July and he's still got that spot ;-)
"There's nowhere to escape from Lefties!" was SIN's response when I asked him what Quick Hide meant.
We already know my Nokia is shit at taking close ups so I'm not even going to apologise for the crappy res - it was on the back of the TV not long before it got munted then taken away

Retro Lefties...
Lefties will never make it to 8th wonder of the world status - even 352nd would be a stretch but it could be ranked for its water features. On one of our woolly (notice I didn't say windy) days when the rain is driving into orifices our mother hasn't been responsible for since kindy, you almost need water wings to wade down Left Bank. Today was one of those days.
Translation: It's been shit weather with no action down the alley hence the retro shots ;-)
No action down the alley but a bit of action at Hotel Constabulary. One of the boys got busted tagging (I don't support tagging but his are kinda styley) and spent a few nights enjoying the hospitality of his minimalist hosts. He's been charged with 5 or 6 counts of some kind of wilful damage I hear.
He's the second artist/writer to get taken down in almost as many weeks. His bad habits merely caught up with him but the other one, of no crew known, was just bad luck - he's only been up a few times and his naive colourful characters have been a pleasure to have in the hood.
"When explaining yourself to the Police it's worth being as reasonable as possible. Graffiti writers are not real villains. Real villains consider the idea of breaking in someplace, not stealing anything and then leaving behind a painting of your name in four feet high letters the most retarded thing they ever heard of."
