Here we are playing catch up with a host of works by prolific Street Artist Aspire placed up over the last 6 months around Penge, Anerley and Crystal Palace. The works shared below contain a range of bird subjects presented in a variety of styles and settings and even a more classical portraiture subject. All of the artworks below were placed up around Penge and Anerley with support from ourselves London Calling Blog for SprayExhibition20. Thank you to all the space owners for donating a spot for an artist to enhance, in these cases Aspire, who we would also like to offer a big thank you to for constantly coming to brighten up SE20.

Work on Anerley Hill, Crystal Palace, depicting a Common Chaffinch sat perched on a crumpled beer can in a design inspired by the constant littering the artist encounters.
Work in Secret Penge, Penge, with a portrait of the legend that is Grateful Dead founder and member Jerry Garcia. Impressive to see Aspire step out of his comfort zone and do such a great job on a human subject.
