In this latest lockdown update to The Street Art Directory we have added a bunch of new artists. We include murals by Erin Holly in Walthamstow, Čedomir Vasić in Belgrade, Un Kolor Distinto in Shoreditch and from London one by Manolo Mesa and a Mandalaera & Senkoe collaboration. There’s also a work by Meki and pieces by Truth, Utopia Panda and Fictional Supervillain. Finally, we include the John Petch-decorated phone box in Meols made famous by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark’s song “Red Frame White Light”.

As ever we have also added lots of new photos to existing artist galleries. Visit the index page here to see who is included in the directory.

The Angel of Forest Road. Erin Holly’s portrait of Joseph Williams-Torres. In March 2018 Williams-Torres was mistakenly murdered in his van just down the road from this mural in Essex Close by Hamza Ul Haq, Loic Nengese and an unnamed 16 year old.

This mural in Belgrade, Serbia, dates from 1984 and was restored and repainted in the early 2000s. It is the work of Čedomir Vasić (professor, artist and former rector) with a group of art students from the city’s University of Arts.

The phone box on Greenwood Road, Meols, was famously the ‘office’ of OMD’s founding members Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphries as neither had a telephone at home. When it was removed by BT there was a collective effort by fans of the band to bring the phone box back and it is now installed as a permanent tribute to the group, with the windows decorated by Liverpool artist John Petch. John had been previously commissioned by the band to produce original paintings to complement and accompany ‘The Punishment of Luxury’ album
