Leicester Square
Travelling through last weekend all the poster boards had been stripped back, unintentionally making a Pollock-Braque mash-up of torn colours.  Accidental bricolage. Shabby, but then that suits the creaking system, and much nicer than being advertised at.

Damn! I deliberately got off the tube today at Oxford Circus because I noticed the other day they had scraped the posters away, leaving beautiful, abstract images. And I get back to see that you've posted similar!

Once I've edited my pictures, I will be posting them, though.

I do love the randomness of pictures like this - and there is something almost archeological about them, too, the colours surfacing beneath the layers.

I had thought there was an artistic movement called the fichistes who create art like this, but I have never been able to find anything about them!

LiveJournal is now showing me an 'adult content' warning before I open your page. I have to agree not to be offended now. Never used to be like that
