There's a street party taking place in Whitecross Street this weekend and there's a lot of street art on display. Most of it is available to buy, with a portion of the proceeds going to SHP, a charity for homeless people in London. I tried to identify as many of the artists as possible, but couldn't quite figure them all out.

Street art?
I tend to use the term "graffiti" rather than "street art". The latter seems a lot like the term "graphic novel" - a way to indicate that this is a culturally-worthy version of an otherwise worthless medium, which isn't really a judgement I'm interested in making. That said, graffiti usually means painting, so I guess I'm going to have to broaden my vocabulary for this post for reasons that will soon become clear.

The dog-Mona Lisa is by Teddy Baden. I'm not sure about the purple Frankenstein's monster on the right.
