Broken Fingaz are a duo of street artists that are based in Haifa, Israel. They visited London in 2013 and 2014 to paint a few murals across east London, and I came across one of these murals at the end of the summer. The mural was painted at the beginning of 2013, so it has seen better days, and it has been altered. The building that the mural was painted on was renovated, so a removal of one wall had broken up the mural, and the introduction of a staircase and two air conditioning units have obscured the other parts of the mural.
This mural, located off Kingsland Road, still has its vibrant colours in a highly illustrative style. Their name appears at the top of the images in block letters, and the first box shows the head of a man. The second box shows a man and a woman appearing to be swamp monsters, perhaps a throw-back at vintage comic book characters.
