I love the colours of a good artistic graffiti painted on a wall or derelict building. I am not a fan of “tagging” such as scrawling letters or child like drawings scribbled around bridges and walls. Digbeth in Birmingham is regenerating and the focus is the old Bird’s Custard Factory. The streets in and around Digbeth are full of clever street art. Here are a few examples of them. They have been taken with my Canon, Sony compact or even iPhone. There is a fish eye lens used in a few of them. The artists I particularly like are Annatomix and Golden Boy but there are countless others on the scene. I have included a few here that I took on my early morning walks around Digbeth.
I work in town on a Wednesday morning so I take the opportunity of pacing around the streets with my camera. The Custard Factory proves to be a happy hunting ground for pictures. The graffiti is very colourful and there are several interesting nooks and crannies that provide interesting views. Here are a selection taken from one of my Wednesday walks.
