A Slight Obsession with Walls






I've never quite got my head round why people associate staring at walls with boredom. I happen to like staring at walls. All kinds of walls, especially where I live. We have more than our fair share of graffiti here but, these are not the only kind of walls that get my stares. Walls with interesting texture, colours and even context can all make me double-take, stop and stare.

I know that I am not the only wall watching wanderer around. Mat seems to be equally enthusiastic about them and also prone to snapping them when he can. There must be others out there! Perhaps you? If you too are stricken with this most curious infliction and are on Instagram, why not share your wallspots with us. Use #wallspotters + share the enthusiasm.

  4. Brick walls have a lot more to say than meets the eye. And maybe it's just me but every country seems to have their own distinct brick/mortar combination? Will be using that hashtag from now on :)

    If you're ever in Sheffield you'll love the street art scene. We've got Phlegm, Rocket01, Faunagraphic and the awesome SAS trooper trooper by Paw Ski and Mace is a must see!
