Remi Rough Walthamstow Mural for PAINT YOUR LONDON Street Art Festival
Hookedblog has been back and forth to Walthamstow, London the last few days checking in on the progress of the first Paint Your London street art event which was launched last weekend by local art-based collective Wood Street Walls (Previously on Hookedblog).

Paint Your London is a local street art festival that is also part of the Mayor of London’s 11-day festival “Find Your London”, which celebrates London’s outdoor spaces. The collective is giving the Waltham Forest neighborhood a fresh lick of paint throughout their month-long event that will see them transform bland and dreary buildings across Walthamstow, Leytonstone, Leyton & Chingford into colorful works of art.
They are achieving this with the help of some of the best local and international street artists, 20 in total who they have enlisted to help transform multiple locations over the duration of the event.
Hookedblog was lucky enough to be in the area when London artist Remi Rough began working on his contribution to the Paint Your London event. We last caught up briefly with Remi Rough a few weeks back in Marrakech, Morocco where he was taking part in this year's Marrakech Biennale with the MB6 Street Art parallel project.
Since our last catch-up with this busy artist, he has released a new book titled #RoughSketches with Unicorn Press which is available online directly from the publishers via the Unicorn Press website.

He has painted two additional murals in South London, collaborated with Scream Creations for the release of 'Motivational Therapy' a hand-made rug featuring one of his designs, and on top of all of that he is co-curating the Exceptional exhibition also with Scream Gallery opening early next month. Check out our series of images we captured while he was working on his E17 mural.
