I like people notice all the details and minutiae of everyday little thing could find something attractive and imperceptible to most. Super!

I missed those insects, goddamit. When I get back to London I am going to go and have a leisurely stroll down love/ hate lane and have a proper butcher’s at everything. Great blog btw!

The project is a great idea, bringing art under the noses of people who might not consider themselves interested in the topic. It is a credit to the local area and peope that run it. But when I think about it I feel it is a shame that they have not used it to promote the area’s local artists (of which there a gazillion I reckon). At least anything would be better than those bloody Berlin crows…

I’m with you there on the Crows of Berlin on Tavistock Square. Crap!

But further up Portobello opposite the Spanish school there’s some really great stuff in the wall itself – kind of tableaux of insects posed in gaps in the wall with glass plates over them.

Unfortunately all I had with me was my camera to shoot them with, but I did my best here: http://www.nottinghilldiary.com/2008/08/07/lovehate-art-commissions-trail/ (click on the images to enlarge them).

Maybe you can pop up there and do better.

Trellick Towers. I can never remember its fucking name.
What larks though, eh?
Great description of the crow. A finer hatchet job I never seed.
