Dracula Wheatpaste Art By Scott Caris (Photo By Gail)
Christopher Lee’s portrayal of Dracula in Hammer Horror films became iconic for several reasons. Lee’s version of the character, debuting in Dracula (1958), broke away from the aristocratic elegance of earlier portrayals, notably Bela Lugosi’s, and introduced a darker, more intense vampire. Lee’s Dracula was seductive yet violent, blending charisma with genuine menace.

Two striking wheat pastes by American graphic pop artist Scott Caris seem to leap from the walls of Brick Lane in Shoreditch, London. One features a young Bob Dylan, his face awash in blue and green, with the poignant lyric “I’m on the dark side of the road” (from “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”) scrawled across his forehead. Beside Dylan, a bold portrait of Pete Townshend from The Who shows him strumming a double-neck guitar, eyes locked forward, as a red-and-blue mod target hovers behind him like a halo. The pairing feels like a surreal tribute to rock’s restless rebellion and cool introspection. The guy sitting on the curb never looked up from his phone.

On my recent vacation in London, we spent one day exploring the streets of an area called Shoreditch. In addition to being the home of Brick Lane, which is famous for its excellent Indian restaurants, Shoreditch is widely-known for its abundance of fantastic street art. To give those in NYC an idea of what it’s like, imagine if Freeman Alley ran the length of Avenue A. You could spend a full day there and not have to venture very far off of Brick Lane and it’s many side streets to find some the most creative and memorable street art imaginable. It is really quite mind-blowing and the day turned out be highlight of my trip.
