Born and bred in Weston-Super-Mare, Jamie Paul Scanlon (aka JPS) is more than just your average street artist, as these brilliant works of street art show…
Little is known about the elusive British street artist JPS. He certainly doesn’t get the worldwide publicity that a new work of street art by Banksy regularly receives, but JPS is equally as talented as his West Country counter-culture compatriot. He also has a similar ability to mix pop culture, humour, unusual locations and cans of spray paint in amazing ways. Who knows? Maybe JPS and Banksy are, in fact, one-and-the-same!

Street art is fast becoming the 21st century equivalent of Renaissance art from the 1400’s . Ok I accept that that is maybe a claim to far and possibly won’t be held in the same awe in hundreds of years time but it is a movement that has drawn increasing interest and appreciation whilst adding both humorous and thought provoking images to bland and stark urban landscapes. JPS is clearly one of the new breed of street artists to watch closely.
These are great fun! I’ve never heard of him before, but these are brilliant! Liked his Facebook page now. 🙂
There are some really great examples here of what street art should be. As the third ‘exhibit’ states, it’s “Better Than A Bear Wall”! (haha – love it!)
Very talented as you say and some innovative ideas as well. Chunk is a personal favourite.
These are great and the double entendre of the titles makes you view them with humour. Particularly loving the London Underground Tube CCTV with its own graffiti!
I love these! They’re quirky and can make otherwise dull spaces more interesting to look at.
Move over boring graffiti taggers and take note of real street art!
