"To paint, or not to paint, that isn't the question." When you're around the Globe Theatre in Southwark, at some point you're going to find yourself in a tragi-comic situation. So when you've had enough of all things Shakespeare, why not take a break, and go say hello toβ¦ Shakespeare. That's right! This spray painting is the creation of Australian James Cochran, aka Jimmy C. His other claim to fame is a mural that he painted at Brixton to honour David Bowie when he passed away. To celebrate the bard's 400th death anniversary in 2016, Jimmy C sprayed the portrait of the playwright onto a wall near the Globe Theatre. It's on Clink Street, right under the tracks, near Cannon Street station. It's walking distance to Shakespeare territory, including the Globe, the Rose Theatre and Southwark Cathedral, where Shakespeare's brother is buried. PS: He's given the mural a fresh coating of paint in August 2019, and added a few extra elements to the original. _________________________________________ Find your Great Britain π¬π§ #findyourgreatbritain #LoveGreatBritain @lovegreatbritain @akajimmyc _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ β¦β¦β¦. β¦β¦... β¦β¦.. β¦β¦. β¦β¦ β¦.. β¦. β¦ .. . #jimmmyc #jamescochran #shakespeare #theatre #williamshakespeare #london #theglobetheatre #hamlet #quote #art #cityoflondon #painting #mural #streetart #portrait #southwark #southwarkcathedral #bankside #londonbridge #therosetheatre #anniversary #bard #davidbowie (at Clink Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JyK1dAsVL/?igshid=u1grunjhr98q
