I trudged through the snow, risked life and limb on icy paths to bring you these images today … well not really, but I’ve always liked to be a bit dramatic. As I mentioned in the last post, I heard about another legal graffiti wall in Sevenoaks Park, Grangetown. It was just a short walk from the centre of Cardiff, but at first site the park is rather disappointing. It appears to be fine for dog walking, but not really somewhere you would actively go out of your way to visit.

Then I stepped in, walked down a narrow path and almost out of nowhere this wall of colour emerged from around the corner. I have to say, after several weeks of tracking down much of Cardiff’s graffiti work I’ve come to expect a certain standard, and one things for sure the park does not disappoint. With the whole park covered in snow, the wall shone through magnificently. I was completely won over when I saw a Star Wars stormtrooper riding a giant chicken. The art lover in me marvelled at the creativity of many of these artists, the nerd in me did think the Rebel Alliance would not have stood a chance if George Lucas had factored in giant chickens. But in all seriousness, my trip to the park was tinged with sadness, Sevenoaks Park is the last major site for graffiti in Cardiff, so I hope you enjoy what’s on offer:
