Shop Graffiti/art



After a trip to Newcastle i found this image in a shop window down by the Quayside. Using the typical "closing down" snow spray paint to create this bit of crazy artwork seems to be the idea of David Hoe. You could read deeper into this by saying that the idea of the guy blowing his brains out, thus ending him, could symbolize the closing of the store. To be honest though, i think he just wanted to paint a guy shooting himself through his mouth. Amazing what you see around.

I've tried to find more of his work elsewhere online, but he seems to be a mystery man. If anyone finds anything, throw it my way please.

That is visually stunning. What a way to grab attention! It looks so effective, the colour blending in with the window.
