The Hastings Moth Project
A few months ago, when I was visiting the local Children's Library.
I saw this on a nearby wall. After some investigation I found out that this was part of the Hastings Moths Project an urban art project. Essentially, the setup is simple. They put a stencil on a wall that has been discoloured by pollution and use a high-pressure hose to "clean" the area within the stencil. Unlike more traditional graffiti, removing it would simply involve cleaning the rest of the wall in the same way. There are 7 sites in total and I managed to track them all down and take my own pictures as follows. Old Town Town Centre North end of Town Hidden Back Street Bowling Green Hut Sea Front In the conception, the execution and the look, this is the sort of art I love.

Cool! When they started 'glassfibering' my neighbourhood they placed hearts, made in the same way, everywhere on the streets and on buildings. The company that lays the fibers is called 'glashart' which means 'glass heart'

I love this concept! They should do something similar in my city but use images of trees instead (since London, Ontario is known as the Forest City). Good job Step, tracking down all of the sites, just like a good adventure gamer! (It reminds me of the later games in the Myst series that have built-in cameras to take snapshots of things or places containing clues needed to solve a puzzle!)

I wish they did more stuff like that here. Helsinki has a couple paintings on walls, but the rest of Finland is just full of ugly blocks of turd basically*. I hate the complete lack of artistic and aesthetic vision we have here.
*) Obviously not all, but everything from the 50's to 90's and almost everything from the 90's forward. Some exceptions there though luckily, mainly in Helsinki and such. |

For other local street art, see this pub frontage. The local council originally wanted this painted over as an advertisement in a conservation area (they relented under public pressure). The latter is incorrect (there are buildings in the area subject to conservation orders but this isn't one of them). The former is a bit odd given that this is the actual frontage of the pub, which already had signs outside advertising it as a pub. By contrast this is the same council that issued the following statement when a Banksy appeared in town Quote:
