One Foot in the Grove

(Shok-1)

One of my all time favorite things about London is the street art that seem to pervade even the high end parts of the city.  The wide range exceptance of street art has fostered some incredible festivals, such as Cans, and this year One Foot in the Grove, put on by Mutate Britain.  The Festival opened yesterday, and apparently consisted of fire breathing animals ridden by little girls.  Sounds good to me.

Besides the sculptures and robots there are also freehand paintings, stencils, and paste-ups which are transforming a small section of Portobello Road into a street art enthusiast playground.  See below for more images.
