Ruby
New street art on North Street by MELS (and specifically Viktor Sümegi) shows a ruby-lipped and ruby-crowned female face with sheep’s (?) horns.
Replaces the 2012 ‘Lose Or Re-use’ piece showing a store-front in outline, later vandalised with ‘Fuck Art‘.

Carried Away
This stencil by Visual Waste (Fb | previously) in North Street shows a large black bird carrying off a boy, perhaps in response to the (faked) footage last December (2012) purporting to show an attempt by a golden eagle to snatch a child (youtube).

Long Runs The Fox
The new blue face by DMC (Web | Fb) in North Street wears a crown of autumn leaves. (Replaces Praise’s Dot piece – unvandalised | vandalised. In 2016 the DMC piece itself succumbed to the writer’s can – see the final image, below.)

Skull
You never know what’s hiding in a darkened doorway. In an abandoned doorway of stone blocks, deeply recessed on North Street, a skull lies waiting. This is the work of “KVLR” (Kev Largey).

Broken Bad
Hit TV series Breaking Bad ended last night after five seasons on-air. The popularity of the show is such that artist Visual Waste chose to make lead character Walter White the subject of his contribution to Culture Night Belfast. The new piece is right next to Visual Waste’s piece (which we called ‘The Mark Of Zorro’) from last year’s festival, in North Street.
