URBAN ART rather than ANGER?









From the series Beer and bottle culture.


Nowadays, sadly, wherever, you'll come across the junk and litter people have discarded negligently.
Are we the only animals who soil their nest?
Well, I was raised differently, as were my sons and now their children! How often do you see stuff rolling and blowing about right next to the empty dustbin?
It angers me no end!
Children and most exasperatingly adults WITH children, casually finish food (or not...) and drop it, walk away from it, like a dog from its pooh! All of this clean up is costing society a fortune, money that could be spend on so many fun and better activities. Would they do this at home? Hmmmm, probably? Sad, so sad, it’s a sad, sad situation….
Realising there is little that I could do about it and that the emotion was detrimental to my wellbeing, I started to use it in a 'creative' way, a different approach...


I NEVER move anything, come across them. No matter where in the world you are!

From the top:

1. LIVERPOOL ART. Climbing up a street in Liverpool I spotted this in an old wall in a narrow alley, behind it a sunlit 'shell' of a building, I'm still curious why it was there, no other windows or doors... strange!
2. DUBLIN ART.
3. FLANDERS' ART.
4. YORKSHIRE ART.
5. FUERTEVENTURA ART.
6. WHITBY ART.
7.
SCARBOROUGH ART.Here against the new seawall of East Pier in Scarborough, where people buy their food and drink before strolling along to enjoy the views and lovely sea air... only to leave a trail of litter.
And yes there are bins...

Keep it clean and thanx, M, (*_*)
