Right here, Right now

So a dark day for Ireland today with more job losses, this time in Limerick at the Dell manufacturing plant, with 1900 jobs gone by January next.

My recommendation to anyone thinking of coming to Ireland is don’t bother its a bad bad place right here right now!

Scott Kelby Photowalk Lizard on glass

I have no idea if this was purposely put on the glass, or if its from one of the many new age graffiti artists around, all I know is it really works well.

Merrion Square Graffiti Benches

How nice it was to be out and about with no rain falling on my head the other day. I decided to venture down to Merrion Square to see if there were any new flowers starting to shoot up, even though spring aint arrived really yet. I did stop though to take a shot of these 2 benches destroyed by graffiti. As I have said in the past some graffiti is very artistic this on the other hand is plain old vandalism.

I desaturated the shot quite a bit and gave it a good bit of contrast hopefully to give the impression of the stark reality of vandalism.

Asbestos Dolls Heads

While walking around Dublin today I noticed for the first time these Dolls Heads stuck to various walls of buildings.

On my return to work I was told who the graffiti artist was, a man who calls himself Asbestos.

He is also responsible for a load of Lost posters up on lamposts and other means of signage.

Some people would say graffiti is destructive, but these dolls heads really are a great example of fantastic street art.

I recommend having a look at theartofasbestos.com and another great street artist that has come to my attention in the past week a guy called Banksy in the UK
