Street art by Sheffield-based artist Phlegm, inspired by the local history of granite quarrying, created for the 2018 Nuart festival; alongside St James the Less Episcopal Church, built of pink granite. The architect was Arthur Clyne, and the foundation stone was laid in 1887; the beautiful rose window, designed by John M Aitken, was installed in 1904.
Phlegm, Sheffield's finest.
I knew about this mural but I'm generally not interested in so called street art anymore but it was good to stumble upon this piece by pure chance whilst out walking with a friend.

Phlegm.
Good to see the man back in the town of my birth. This was the quietest moment between constant traffic and interested onlookers.

Artist Phlegm
Painted in 2013
Phlegm is a UK based artist and according to the article that I found online these characters appear in much of his work.
Phlegm is an internationally renowned street artist and has contributed many murals to Sheffield’s walls over the years. His surreal illustrations are normally monochrome, although Sheffield has had some rare multicoloured murals painted by the artist.
This Skull and Crossbones is on the wall above the now closed book and record shop, Rare and Racy, on Devonshire Street In Sheffield.
~~~~Phlegm was born in North Wales and he currently resides in Sheffield, UK – England’s Steel City.
He is a world-known cartoonist and illustrator. He is also well known for his self-published comics and highly creative street art. Phlegm’s work is distinctively detailed composed of odd figures and a narrative structure.
The majority of Phlegm’s artwork is strictly illustration-based. He leaves his street artwork and murals for his cartoon-based art. In fact, that majority of his large characters originate from his comics and they are often spray painted onto very large walls. Phlegm prefers to paint his comic work with black Indian ink and a dip pen. He uses color only when he is screen-printing or painting large murals and other objects.
One can say that the only difference between his comics and his murals is the working space; the size and surface where he places his artwork. His art style is highly unique and recognizable making him the most adored street artist. The artist’s work is striking and it will not leave anyone ambiguous. His works are mostly featured in the urban landscape, and run-down spaces. His surreal illustrations tell a story untold, as his imaginative creatures explore the visual narrative.
What makes him so unique is the way he sees street art. Phlegm believes his murals become part of the cities’ architecture being influenced by the surrounding, which is a wonderful way on how to see art.~~~~
