THE CHESHIRE STREET CAT

HE WENT THAT WAY - NO HE WENT THAT WAY


this is painted on cheshire street off brick lane in east london...i spotted malarky throwing some paint on a wall next to where this painting now is, i was on a mission around brick lane for some legal walls...malarky is what you might call...up...at the moment, in east london he's killllling it, literally in one summer he has taken east london out...anyway back to me cos this is my ego here... i asked him who's wall it was and i got introduced to roger...hello roger how u doing, i want to paint a wall please...can i paint that one please...i do photo realistic animal portraits...how bout i do the modern version of the chesire cat that malarky is already painting...he seemed to think it was a good idea...i thought it an even better idea when he offered to pay for my paint...result...thanks malarky....laterz...leave some walls behind for us you greedy artist...


the original version of the ol' cheshire cat and his devilishly deceiving grin...


and thats the newer version...the one jonny depp was starred with....


i realised that although i was painting a cat next to a more obvious cheshire cat on cheshire street a lot of people might not get my take on it, so i added the pink and purple colours to the background and added the famous quote... he went that way...is it that famous...o well who cares, it  made me feel i was fitting the breif....and so no one probably has a clue... but its a good eye i did there...



so what ya think lola...should i do one of your mate loke next time, rather than some stranger on flickrs cat...damn i cant remember where i got this photo now i should be crediting it...
bad louis...bad creditor...sorrrrrrry
