YouTube – Nicky Getgood showing street art – a man disagrees! – Yours truly showing Swedish journalist Axel Anden Digbeth street art. I like it, the bloke saying, “it’s an eyesore” doesn’t.

Oh that’s brilliant. Love it. Of course it’s an age old debate…when does vandalism become art? Would most of us prefer a boring old rusty blue gate or some funky pictures of a little bald man? Mr Baldy Man gets my vote every time. I’ve noticed him appearing here and there too. Good stuff. Whilst none of us would advocate tagging each others front doors (mind you, some of those awful plastic things could do with a little jazzing up) what harm is there in trying to add a little fun to the grim post industrial backstreets of Digbeth eh? As Mr Baldy Man is just stuck onto the gate I guess removing him wouldn’t be that tricky either…although that would be a real shame. Do we know who the artist is yet? Maybe we could arrange a ‘head to head’ with Mr Blue Gate…
