Monday Mural

James Cochran a.k.a. Jimmy C., is an Australian artist and he made this beautiful work:


It was made in 2015 and the fact that it's still here, in Fashion street, London, is a sign of respect from  other street artists. 



This work is called Joe's Kid.
Joe owned a cafe in Spital Fields, in the 1930s.
The little girl is his granddaughter, now grown up, and she owned a cafe right here were the portrait was made.
A few years ago I showed another Jimmy C. work here on my blog: David Bowie

  5. Reminds me of the "English" style Christmas cards from when we were kids - before we got around to depicting Australian summer Christmas images on our cards.

  6. I agree with Joan, it looks like a Christmas image. So pretty :) My Mom who lives in Cascais, Portugal, had sent me a photo of the mural he painted there last year. Thanks for contributing Bertie.

  8. The style is really unusual for street art -- very pleasing. I wish there were no trash piles nearby.
