Street Art: George the Dog and John Dolan

Visitors to Shoreditch High Street have probably seen George the Dog and his owner John Dolan sitting on the pavement drawing his dog or drawing the view. John Dolan lives on the street and has some brushes with spending time in prison and hanging out with the wrong people. He's lived on the streets and knows London very well, and he decided to draw what he sees one day. He acquired George from a fellow homeless person. The two are inseperable; George hangs out on the pavements as John draws.  

I've seen various drawings around Shoreditch of George, and most recently, I discovered several images of George the dog in different settings, such as space.

John Dolan has become quite well-known for his artwork and has had it displayed in some of London's popular galleries. Keep your eyes open for them next time you visit Shoreditch High Street.
