As some of you will know, one of my other hobbies is taking photographs of street art. It’s always interesting to look at the influences in street art, and often I notice Japanese influences. A while ago I was in London and I spotted this manga-esque paste-up in Shoreditch by Tian:
Tian is a French street artist who specialises in stencilled paste-ups. I love this image – it’s playful, and reminds me a lot of fashionable girls I’ve seen in Japan around areas like Harajuku.
Hooked Blog also spotted another Japanese-style piece by Tian, which actually includes some katakana:

Two great pieces of street art!
Apologies for the short post this evening, but it’s Friday night and it’s been a busy week! I’ll have some lengthier posts for you over the weekend though, so watch this space! 😉

London must be the Mekka of street art. I watched ‘Exit through the gift shop’ recently and am now even more interested in street art than I was before. Nice post!

Yeah, it really is! Mind you, there’s a lot here in Bristol too – home of Banksy! 🙂
