I Couldn't Not ....... photgraph this, now could I? (Explored 07-10-19)
Well I had to take a picture of this mural, seen on Gibb Street, Digbeth, Birmingham; I’m sure it was painted just for me…..
This is just a fraction of the overall mural, I have no idea who the artist is therefore I can’t give him/her a credit for a great piece of work.
PS. Of course I had to show this before one of the other Togs from our Flickr meet up in Birmingham showed it… LOL
PPS. Just found out the artist is 'Dan Kitchener' from Essex and he has my greatest respect; he is my new hero after Horatio Nelson …. lol
Here is a quote from an interview he has given;
Interviewer : I’ve notice that you paint a lot of city scenes “under rain” why is that ?
I am from the UK, it rains a lot! My fascination with light comes in here, lighting at night has a very different quality, dreamlike, sometimes quite lonely and ghostly… rain accentuates this, exaggerates the light and the reflections, and can create some surprising and unusual effects on wet roads etc, I am always surpassed by what I see in a rainy night scene…in Tokyo last February, I literally lay in a puddle on the road at night to get some amazing shots, totally worth all the confused looks at me and being soaked…
Love it......!
