Wall Art In Southsea: The Big Owl

On a Southsea street corner, where Victoria Road South and Richmond Road meet, an enormous owl stands guard and watches the cars go by.

 And when I say "enormous" I'm not kidding. This mural is taller than I am. Look at the car for reference.

It's also really well done. The eyes are especially good.   

 So at this point you're asking one of two questions. 

Why is there an owl on this wall...and why is it brandishing a spanner?

Shifting angle slightly and all is revealed. 

Consider my attention well and truly  grabbed. 

If you've seen some of my previous posts then you'll know I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. 

Unexpected art that isn't locked away in a gallery but out in the streets for everybody to see.  

If you're the artist who painted this then I'd love to hear from you. 

That's all folks.
