Jim Vision is a London-based street artist who is a regular painter to London's walls. His subjects typically tend to fall into the science fiction/fantasy or environmental/social message. Native Americans on horses with American flags, native warriors, and science fiction/fantasy dragons, demons, and warriors all feature in his artwork. Recently, Jim Vision had been busy painting just opposite Box Park/Shoreditch overground and on Pedley Street.

The title of both of the new artworks is "Battlechasers" and shows a small group of heroes in battle against zombie-like, alien, or dragon creatures. The mural below is on Pedley Street and was left unfinished with blue paint for a week while the artist switched to work at the Bethnal Green Road location, where I saw him painting the new mural.

The Bethnal Green Road mural is below.

ThisOne has been one of the busiest street artists in London over the past couple of years with several new artworks appearing throughout the year. Most recently, ThisOne has contributed with Spanish street artist Koctel. ThisOne typically paints animals and other subjects in monochrome colours using a highly-illustrated and detailed technique. Koctel paints colourful artwork with Spanish graphical influences.

The largest of the two new collaboration murals is located on Bethnal Green Road opposite BoxPark.

The smaller mural features two rats with oranges and appears in Star Yard.

SHOK-1 is a London-based artist who is a master with the spray can. His style is to create a thin mist with the spray paint and to layer it to create images that appear to be X-ray photographs. The last time that I covered SHOK-1 on this blog was the "Elvis"/pelvis mural that he completed earlier this year at the entrance of Ely's Yard off Hanbury Street. I watched him use the technique to create his eye-catching work.

Over the weekend, a new mural appeared to replace his earlier "MasterPeace" mural off Brick Lane, which featured an X-ray of a hand making the universal "peace" sign. The new mural pays tribute to all of the fallen soldiers in past mistakes/wars, featuring the simple poppy flower. The stem of the poppy flower appears to be made of barbed wire, perhaps a tribute to the trenches during the first world war.

This time, the background is a navy blue colour instead of black or grey, which makes a nice change.

In addition to the above mural, Shok-1 also completed another mural off Sclater Street. This mural was actually painted a few weeks ago and is painted to bring attention to recycling. "The Future is Rubbish" is the title given on the artist's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/shok_1). It shows an X-ray hand tossing a crumpled aluminium soda can.

Last summer, Hackney Road gained two new large-scale murals almost opposite each other. I had previously covered the artwork "Big Smoke" by Pref and Gary Strange, which was replaced by Senna early this year. However, I forgot to cover the mural across the road (almost opposite) by Axel Void, which is titled "Comfort of the Modern Slave".

Axel Void is an artist born in Miami, but his background is Spanish and Haiti. He has lived in Europe but now resides in Miami. His work is inspired by classical art, but it tells a story with focus on social, humanitarian, political, and other causes.

I have not walked this far down Hackney Road for awhile, so I am unsure if this mural still exists.

London-based street artist Jim Vision has recently painted the large wall at the bottom of Hanbury Street off of Brick Lane. In a call for titles for the new work, which features a god-like tribal character with the backdrop of a paradise filled with exotic animals on the left and a fiery forest with man and beat on the right, the artist asked for titles for the new work on his Instagram feed; the title that I suggested was "Paradise Lost", and that is the title selected for the piece.

Jim Vision often paints fantasy, environmental scenes, and scenes with native people.

Jim Vision also replaced his previous work featuring a scene with native Americans in a modern world with a new scene with native Americans on horses fighting with cowboys. The piece was painted over several large sections of scaffolding.

Telmo Miel is a street art duo from the Netherlands comprised of Telmo Pieper and Miel Krutzmann. Both artists have studied the arts with focus on graphic design, illustration, and grafitti. They also have additional skills that complement each other; Miel has experience at creating music while Telmo has skills in film and photography. The last time that they painted in London was in 2015, when they completed their series of artwork "Glove Loves", morphing objects with gloves. They recently came to London ahead of this year's Monkier Art Fair, which was held earlier this month, and left a new mural.

The newest mural is located on Hanbury Street just off of Brick Lane. It is titled "Odds and Ends, Bits and Pieces". Telmo Miel often feature hybrid objects or two items that typically do not go together. This piece takes on that theme with a gnome merged with an upside-down ice cream cone for a head.

AKACORLEONE is an illustrator, designer, and artist from Lisbon, Portugal. Grafitti is an inspiration for him, and he uses the street to create walls which pop in colour and shape. Recently, he painted the gates at the Truman Brewery just off Brick Lane with "VOID", which is an artwork that is formed of bright shapes.

The primary yellow, blue and red are also crossed with pink and black. Illustrations that appear to be lighted matches, cigarettes, and a volcano appear to be a part of the collage along with a CCTV camera projecting imagery.

London-based street artist Ben Slow exhibited some of his artwork at the Monkier Art Fair last week. During the week, he also painted a new mural just off Brick Lane and next to 'The Pride of Spitalfields' pub. The figure is a portrait painted in black and white with gold rendering at the top of the canvas/wall.

London-based artist Zabou has recently returned to one of her walls (where her work has been featured over the past couple of years) to repaint. I was looking forward to seeing some new work on this wall, which previously featured Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper. The wall is located on "The Bell" pub near Petticoat Lane Market and features Alice and friends from "Alice in Wonderland". Earlier this summer, Zabou painted Sid Vicious from the band, 'The Sex Pistols' near Shoreditch High Street.

Alice features in the mural as well as the white rabbit, a bottle of "drink me" potion, and the Cheshire Cat in the shadows.

Several new street art works appeared in Shoreditch and Spitalfields with the recent "Monkier Art Fair" and "The Other Art Fair" taking place on Brick Lane last week. One of the artists who had some work at "The Monkier Art Fair" was Spanish artist, illustrator, and graphic designer Dulk. His work was on display for the first time in the UK. In addition to the work displayed at the art fair, he painted a new piece on Pedley Street, named "Resurrection". 

Dulk was inspired to paint at a young age after being inspired by all of the birds and animals that he grew up around in Spain. Although he studied economics, he always carried a sketchbook with him and eventually studied illustration and graphic design. Dulk's style is to combine surrealistic landscapes with imaginary creatures, and his theme is often of the future of humans or extinction.

The rhino in the artwork is surrounded by orange creatures with colourful horns. The rhino has two horns, transparent with dying plants inside them. They appear to be floating or against a cloudy sky.

I enjoy seeing a new mural by a street artist who is new to London, so I do hope the artist paints more in the city.
