Hookedblog has been spending quite some time further East in Walthamstow since the start of this year as our friends at Wood Street Walls step up a gear.

Walthamstow Street Art
—

The Wood Street-based community art project has been working to bring public art to the neighborhood in the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

We have been documenting the work they have been doing in the area and have previously featured many of the street art murals they have helped to produce with street artists such as London street artist Malarky (covered here), WelikeStactic (covered here), The Toasters (covered here), Teddy Badden, ATM, Bonzai, and more recently Dale Grimshaw (covered here) and Mr.Cenz.

For their latest Walthamstow mural, Wood Street Walls enlisted the help of London-based Irish artist Conor Harrington on what is their largest wall to date. Located on Ray Dudley Way just next to Walthamstow Central train station, this new large-scale mural was painted over three days by Harrington.




We stopped by over the course of the three days to check out the artist at work and to capture some images to share here on the blog. With the sun shining, for the most part, it was a pleasure to see this talented artist at work on what one local kid called an 'Epic Piece'.

This dramatic street piece from Conor Harrington was drawing a lot of praise from many of the local residents who use the route daily to the train station and were more than happy to see some colour on this previously blank wall.
