I've recently gone through some old photographs of street art that I have taken and not published over the years and found these various ones of street artist Artista who paints large slices of toast and flowers/floral patterns. She's painted many walls in London over the past several years, and her work is colourful and always a pleasure to see. In the past couple of years, she has not painted too much in London.
One of the better editions was a series she posted on one wall on Blackall Street, which has since become gentrified with a new hotel built on the street. Some of the walls still contain paste-ups and street art, but it's not often used these days, which is a shame because it used to contain some great work. This is where Artista painted a series of her toast character with different colours and backgrounds, the final one being a New Year's Eve celebration with fireworks, which was largely tagged over quickly and before I could get a photograph. Many of the editions did not last long, and I only managed to photograph a few.
