We need something like this in Accy
 

We could do with some of these street paintings in Accy, if you came across one you would probably walk round it, that way if the painted them in the right places you might miss all the broken flags and loose paving there is in the town!!

Thanks for the photos! Some very clever works of art.

Eh? I thought we already had pavement art on the mean streets of Accy. I can think of several titled exhibits currently gracing our town:

"CHEWING GUM" by various artiists. A mighty montage of expugated filth stretching from Harwood in the North to Ossy in the south and Huncoat in the East to Knuzden in the west Possibly the largest art work in the world, covering an area of aprox. 16 square miles.

"VOMIT" a collection by local post-futurist action concept artists, borrowing heavily from the style of Jackson Pollock. Challenging the four dimensional concept of Time and Space, the best examples are to be found in the early hours of saturday and sunday morning in the vicinity of Church street and in front of the town hall.

"DONER KEBAB" by artists known as The Plonkers. Yes, you've got to be to eat this garbage...but then again, who does? This is in fact the end product of a Performance Concept show which is usually scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights...the actors proceed to go out, spend 20 quid on a dozen bicardi breezers. then waste their final fiver on a Donner which is smelt for body bits then slung to one side before the said artists depart the scene in a taxi, whose fare will be unpaid and whose driver will be assaulted.

got to agree about church street vicinity of town,never go near that area of town at night,occasionally we used to walk down from the canine for a cab now i take my mobile and ring from wherever.last time i walked down it was intimidating to put it mildly,my missus did not feel safe.- back to the thread- we love pavement art and wouldn't mind at all seeing some decent stuff.

They are superb, Why not send then to PB and get them to brighten up Broadway?

It would'nt happen. Britcliffe would want a feasability study done first at a cost of fifty thousand quid and then Councillor Jones would oppose it on the basis that some of the artwork would not be politically correct.

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

No-ones mentioned John Major yet! is it him or not?
If we got one in Accy like that should we put PB in the picture?

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

The problem is these "paintings" as such are actually chalk drawings. They do 'em an awful lot in London around the Covent garden and Leicester square area, and typically take half a day or so to complete, after which the artists sits around and collects money in his pot. However, they have to watch the weather forecast because they're soon washed away. I can't see them making an impact in Accy simply because of the high local rainfall.

However, I seem to recall Acrylic-Bob took a degree in fine art, so I'll bet a penny to a pound he knows how to paint or chalk up a pretty piccy. I've no doubt he could run off an excellent "Britcliffe Special" on the Broadway in the space of an hour or two.

these drawing are quite old and have been floating around the net for some years and yes it is john major and the other guy is probably the leader of the other opposition at the time john major was tory leader or one of majors assosiates

paddy ashdown or whoever was leader at that time of the other opposition
