Belfast had its fourth annual “Culture Night” on Friday the 21st, and the festival included a street-art/graffiti-art component under the name “Shutter Scape”, as many of the pieces were painted on the (permanently) shuttered business in North Street. (See Visual History 11 for information about the street-art component of the festival.)

Here is random sample, beginning, above, with a NOTA (None Of The Above) tag. (Update 2013-02-28: A NOTA tag at Belfast Snapper.)

Below is Praise, with a blue-and-white constructivist stencilling. Other images are described below.

Praise’s piece is on the wall at the bottom of the wheel-chair ramp into (what was) the NI Tourist Board. Just around the corner, on North Street itself, we have this electrical box with white crosses with ‘Get Paid’ slogan, signed PB (??)

Writers at work in the North Street car-park:

‘Visual waste’ was also there; here’s his tag stencil. We’ll have the finished products from Visual Waste and from Praise in due course.

Here is video of various artists at work …
