Welcome to Dulwich, MadC!







Here's a new addition to the street art of Dulwich - by MadC - to be found at the crossroads where pub meets library, and bank meets florists, at the top end of Lordship Lane. The recently-finished mural prompted closer inspection (and a photo opportunity). I'm wearing my favourite new combats, authentically Desert Storm indeed with their own NATO number (and a bargain to boot from Frank the Stylist), together with a leather Banana Republic jacket and a shaggy waistcoat from Sugar. The snakeskin boots are by Pura López whilst the sunnies, in the same style zone as Iris Apfel, are French by Francois Pinton, from south London's Paraphernalia. My turquoise jewellery is from Jessica Walker.
The new piece of street art replaces another called Tea with a Bee, created as part of Baroque the Streets, a collaboration between Dulwich Festival and Street Art London. It, along with a number of other works, put Dulwich firmly on the map for street art, back in May 2013. MadC's work also appeared then, most notably in The Street Art House, formerly at 265 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich.

Tan on the Thames






More brickwork... this time at Shad Thames, pulling in a fine view of Tower Bridge and within a stone's throw of The Design Museum. I have slept on the premises (!) some time before it became a mecca for contemporary international design. Established in 1989 by Terence Conran, it claims to be the first museum of modern design. And it plans to get bigger - with a proposed relocation to the former Commonwealth Institute in Kensington.
I am in all shades of brown, from tan to buttermilk to chocolate between, with my Banana Republic leather jacket, Joseph trousers, John Smedley jumper, Visconti leather bag, Mongolian lamb scarf and my Ras animal print boots.
