Chess Guy Likes to Talk

For the third time in less than a year, the monthly featured Flickr post contains two keywords: Shoreditch graffiti [street art]. The previous post was last month's Hackney Wick Street Art (December 2024).

The description said only,

Streetart in Shoreditch, E.London. • Artist: Renatto Ribeiro

I imagine that many people who walk past that part of the sidewalk see the woman's head and the Christmas tree decorations before they see the chess sets, if they see them at all. The sign behind the board on the right says, 'Chess 4 Fun FREE'. A comment to the photo from Loco Steve says, 'The chess guy is pretty interesting and likes to talk. He's from Syria.'
