Stephen Wiltshire originals and prints - from Brooklyn Bridge and One World Trade Center to Leaning Tower of Pisa ( Italy) A Free Street Art Tour of Bethnal Green and Hackney Road in London - Inspirin... This year has seen a further shift in the centre of gravity of street art in the city.
Further east from its heartland of Shoreditch artists have been finding spots around Bethnal Green and Hackney.

High rise buildings are beginning to take over the spots were street art was once king and as usually happens in this scenario it means that the artists themselves are pushed ever further away.

" 150 Street Artists From 30 Countries Turn Old Tunisian Village Into Outdoor Art Gallery.
Er-Riadh, a small village off of the beaten tourist path on the island of Djerba in Tunisia, was paid a visit by an unlikely bunch of guests – 150 street artists from 30 countries around the world.
These descended on the town to participate in Djerbahood, a massive public street art exhibition that displayed their 150 street art pieces on the walls of this old multicultural village.

Bristol Byzantine is a variety of Byzantine Revival architecture that was popular in the city of Bristol from about 1850 to 1880.
Many buildings in the style have been destroyed or demolished, but notable surviving examples include the Colston Hall,[1] the Granary on Welsh Back, the Carriage Works,[2] on Stokes Croft and several of the buildings around Victoria Street. Several of the warehouses around the harbour have survived including the Arnolfini which now houses an art gallery.[3] Clarks Wood Company warehouse[4] and the St Vincent's Works[5] in Silverthorne Lane and the Wool Hall[6] in St Thomas Street are other survivors from the 19th century.

Scientists at The University of Manchester have for the first time uncovered how brain cells or 'neurons' that keep us alert become turned off after we eat. The findings - published in the scientific journal Neuron this week - have implications for treating obesity and eating disorders as well as understanding levels of consciousness. "It has been known for a while that people and animals can become sleepy and less active after a meal, but brain signals responsible for this were poorly understood," said Dr Denis Burdakov, the lead researcher based in Manchester's Faculty of Life Sciences. 30 Jaw-Dropping Pieces Of Bristol Street Art. 30 Pieces Of Street Art That Cleverly Interact With Nature - Bored Panda.
