Mural near The Plough vandalised

[Nigello]

The recently re-done mural on the large house wall at The Plough's carpark has been vandalised. I let Ingrid B, one of the main organisers of the original Baroque the Streets street art festival, know about it and she says she will fix it.

So was the Conor Harrington mural unfortunately.

[Nigello]

Which is that one? Was it recently?

[Earl Aelfheah]

The fighters next to the EDT. Some idiot sprayed an expletive across the bottom of it.

Oh no! I absolutely love that Conor Harrington mural - and watched him paint it a few years ago. Can it be fixed?

[Nigello]

That one - the one near the EDT - was vandalised about six months ago, so are you referring to that? I think they managed to fix it when it happened then.

It has 'sh*t' sprayed across the ankle of one of the fighters. I only saw it recently, but it may have been there for some time. It hasn't been fixed.

And some people are vandals and fools.

I'm not a great fan of murals and I don't much like the Fighters mural near the EDT...

... but I would NEVER deface someone elses work what ever I thought of it..

I do believe that any artwork lends itself to this type of vandalism in the same way that any fly-tipped articles

lends to more stuff added..

That's not how my mind works but it's the way some folks minds work..

They see a nice car.. so they scratch it..

Thanks Nigello for letting me know about the vandalism. Thanks to your message I painted over all of the tags about a week ago now. I really appreciate people letting me know, as I dont go round checking the murals in a regular way, and the tags so spoil the artworks.

Went past recently.. No sign of vandalism so good repair job...
