the stencils of brick lane page 1:
Dress Your Own


situated near the algate east tube stop, brick lane (AKA BanglaTown) is well known for great curry houses.
It's less well known for its stencil graffiti.    both are brilliant.
 
a dialogue with my muse:

the shooter: stencil graffiti is an interesting twist on graffiti because by definition a stencil structures and templates ones ideas.  Typically graffiti is anything but structured, and done by people who are very unstructured.

the muse: although one could argue that the spontaneity, although lacking in form, is achieved in their random placement and imperfect lines (spraying in a hurry--you know those stencils are never exact--the edges always bleed a little)
