Jonsey is a street artist who is somewhat elusive and creates artwork inspired with environmental messages. Not much is known about Jonesy, but their work is a mixture of sculptures (many of them cast in bronze and on miniature scale) and paste-ups. To find work by Jonesy, walk down Brick Lane and look up on the tops of signage, and you will be sure to spot some. I've found most of their artwork on or just off of Brick Lane, but I have also found some in Columbia Road. They are easy to miss, so look up in order to find some of these gems. Other ones appear on medallian shapes and are stuck to walls.

Some of the little figurines contain text. A lot of it expresses against nuclear waste, fracking, global warning, and other concerns related to the destruction of our environment and the Earth.

In addition to the environmental artwork dotted around east London, I discovered a selection of little faces created by Jonesy in Star Yard. I've added a collection of these below. They appear to be built into the crumbling brick wall.
