The summer saw South African graffiti writer Drake move to London and hit up a series of fantastic pieces, including a pair of first class collaborations with fellow South African, but London based artist Fiya101. Both of the joint pieces focus on wildlife from their native land, offering some exotic editions to London’s streets – we particularly love the African Painted Dog by Drake in Penge as a subject. We also love the fusion of styles and dynamics on a rather unconventional space for the addition to Shoreditch – especially Fiya101’s zebra. We hope to see some more works from this pair, who are unquestionably more than capable of hitting out top rate pieces individually, but we do love a good collaboration and we think the two below are first class.
