Shoreditch based street art Stik was beavering away on a new mural in Old Street for 4 days up until last Sunday. At times the elements were not in his favour but he gritted his teeth and ploughed on. Several of our tour groups last week and over the weekend had the pleasure of chatting with Stik as he took short breaks from his painting to come and check on how his characters looked from street level.
Just a few days after finishing his landmark painting, a short film has come out following Stik in the build up to this mural in which he seeks to establish a community context for his painting. It is a fascinating painting with a fascinating story.
