2. Stickers
My own sticker
Stickers are easy to apply, and fairly easy to
remove too. They are not temporary, therefore
stickers aren’t seen as too much of an illegal
crime, but however is seen as littering. I produced
my own sticker using bright colours so that it is
eye-catching. This image is taken from where an
original Banksy piece has been boarded up.

3. Mosaic work
Mosaic work is produced by assembling little bits of
material, for example tiles. In Manchester we found some
Space Invader work, one especially on “Catlow Lane”. All
the space invader work is illegal, as he had done it without
commission. The rest is legal work.

4. Posters
Posters are similar to stickers in the
sense that they are both pretty to apply
and remove. However, posters usually
cover up a larger scale of wall.
This is similar to stickers in the case
that they are illegal, but mostly seen as
littering. They are made by wheatpaste
meaning they might eventually be
removed.

5. Murals - Spray paint
Murals are large pieces of street art usually produces on walls. Most murals in
Manchester are commissioned. For example the David Bowie piece is made
my Out House MCR http://outhousemcr.thecolouringbox.co.ukThis David Bowie
mural can be found on
Stevenson Square

6. Commissioned
This is just pieces of street art that have been allowed to be produced by the
owner/bussiness. They will hire some professional artist and assign them to
decorate the building/shutters a specific way or in their own style. The “Fresh bites”
work is by Hammo, an illustrator/mural painter. I like his work because It is bright,
and the illustration design is eye-catching and suitable for everyone.
