    This one kind of sneaked up on me yesterday, and judging by Chris Unitt’s post on Created in Birmingham I wasn’t the only one. When I saw them setting up I thought it was someone hanging out clothes to dry until I spotted the bloody great blimp.

    Vika Verb’s Flying Graffiti installation at The Custard Factory looks like washing lines of T-shirts, which reads William Blake’s words: “The Road Of Excess Leads To The Palace Of Wisdom”. To be honest, I’m not quite sure what I think of it. But that didn’t stop me feeling a tad sorry for the deflating blimp today when I found it hidden behind a metal fence amongst all the crap under the railway arches:

    Poor Blimp

    Aw, bless.
