Even More Wall Art In Southsea

While I was on my way to the Bus rally (see previous post) I took the opportunity to snap a couple of bits of art that make Osborne Road just a little bit more colourful.

 This is the huge mural that decorates the side of the Grosvenor Casino.

I'm assuming the casino didn't mind. Or did they wake up one day, find this on their wall and just go "Oh the hell with it. Leave it where it is."?

 This chap looks a bit grumpy, doesn't he?

 How to make a commonplace English word into something marvellous.

 Hands up how many of you knew who Thanos was before Avengers Assemble and Guardians Of The Galaxy.

I like this. I really do. Charming isn't it?

Artist(s) unknown but definitely talented and I hope you don't mind me sharing your stuff with the rest of the world. 

The other piece I got a picture of is high on the wall of The Wave Maiden, a pub that specialises in Real Ale and  interesting cheeses. I really must have a pint in there one of these days. 

 I've loved this sign since it went up. It has a classic, sorta-retro feel to it. Somebody who knows their art history better than me could explain it better. Best I can do, as an uneducated pleb, is go "Ooh pretty!"
