Street artists Fanakapan and Horror Crew have collaborated on additional street art in the past week, along with work by USA street artist Jerry Rugg. Fanakapan's artwork in the past few years has been all about chrome items and foil silver balloons. I love seeing his work pop up to add colour and dimension to the streets of Shoreditch. Star Yard (off Brick Lane) is one of the artist's usual haunts. The wall at the back of the yard is usually painted with his work. A recent collaboration with the artist and Louis Masai with foil sharks gained much attention earlier this summer.
Fanakapan's work this time features a chrome frog. Or is it a toad? I love the detail.
Horror Crew painted their first in a new series of birds on a wall next to the chrome frog. These two artists often collaborate together. Additional work from them can be seen here.
Last, we have a new piece from Jerry Rugg, an artist from the United States. It depicts a red cobra. The chrome crown was added by Fanakapan.
I hope to see more work from these artists around London in my walks.
