Ben Eine. Oranges and Lemons. By Abbie Brandon.
Ben Eine - the famous British street artist collaborated with Abbie Brandon - a creative producer based in East London to make this film. Abbie follows Eine as he works on a mural for the side of the London Graphics Centre in Convent Garden. The piece re-appropriates the old nursery rhyme of the same name with his new added verses: “Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clement’s/Pancakes and fritters, say the bells of St. Peter’s/“When I Grow rich,” say the bells of Shoreditch.”
Love this cat.

Before I Die. By Candy Chang & Her Neighbors. New Orleans.
Inspiring indeed.
"With support from old and new friends, I turned the side of an abandoned house in my neighborhood into a giant chalkboard to invite my neighbors to remember and share what is important to them. Before I Die transforms neglected spaces into constructive ones where we can learn the hopes and aspirations of the people around us. It’s about improving both our physical spaces and our individual well-being (...) If you’re in New Orleans, stop by 900 Marigny St. to add your thoughts. I believe the design of our public spaces can better reflect what’s important to us as residents and as human beings." - Candy Chang: Public installation artist, designer, urban planner, and co-founder of Civic Center.

Adiós LA. By Jon Jackson.
When designer/Creative Director Jon Jackson moved to NY from LA, he wanted to leave with a bang... so he designed and created this series of billboards as a visual farewell to the city.
Reminds me of Steve Powers' Love Letter project: see here.
