You Have One New Message

I like a good street art mystery, and there are lots to follow up in East London.

The other day I was wandering up Goldsmith's Row towards Broadway Market. I was in observant mood and saw this poster:



Just in case I had suspected it might be anything to do with Banksy (I don't know why I would have, it bore none of his hallmarks), someone had helpfully added a sticker to disabuse me of the notion. Someone else had seen fit to be fiercely critical of both Banksy and whoever was responsible for this.



Further up the road, outside the offy I once frequented, I spotted a sticker:



Does this mean that the 'Many' and 'Sales' are someone else's work? I'm confused. I did, however, spot the name 'EROSIE' on the bottom of the small sticker, and followed it up.



Erosie.net
leads from the very impressive 'under construction' page into a blog, by E.Rosie from Eindhoven in Holland. I've had a scout around and can't find any explanation of the work, but it is referenced so it's clearly the right person.

If anyone knows anything else about this, please let me know as I like to know the story behind these things, mostly so I can bore people about them.
