And it is fitting that this recent update comes with a funny intervention piece from the streets of Birmingham. I received the photo from one of our readers, who said:

He doesn't just glue something on a wall, many times he physically changes our landscape in a three-dimensional way and much of it all in fun. One of my favorite is the wooden bridge (below), but others include his brickwork project, cardboard and necklace. Pay respect.
